Seller's Description:
New in New jacket. No Flaws or Blemishes; Gift Quality. Power employs insights drawn from psychology, anthropology and feminist theory, as well as theology, to put Augustine in a new and revealing setting. As Augustine debated whether or not women are made in the image of God, and as he developed an increasingly idealized picture of the place of the Virgin Mary, Augustine's own cultural and psychological circumstances must have helped shape his conclusions.
