The very concept of conversion owes its dissemination to Augustine's Confessions, and yet, as Jason BeDuhn notes, conversion in Augustine is not the sudden, dramatic, and complete transformation of self we likely remember it to be. Rather, in the Confessions Augustine depicts conversion as a lifelong process, a series of self-discoveries and self-departures. The tale of Augustine is one of conversion, apostasy, and conversion again. In this first volume of Augustine's Manichaean Dilemma, BeDuhn reconstructs Augustine's decade-long adherence to Manichaeism, apostasy from it, and subsequent conversion to Nicene Christianity. Based on his own testimony and contemporaneous sources from and about Manichaeism, the book situates many features of Augustine's young adulthood within his commitment to the sect, while pointing out ways he failed to understand or put into practice key parts of the Manichaean system. It explores Augustine's dissatisfaction with the practice-oriented faith promoted by the Manichaean leader Faustus and the circumstances of heightened intolerance, anti-Manichaean legislation, and pressures for social conformity surrounding his apostasy. Seeking a historically circumscribed account of Augustine's subsequent conversion to Nicene Christianity, BeDuhn challenges entrenched conceptions of conversion derived in part from Augustine's later idealized account of his own spiritual development. He closely examines Augustine's evolving self-presentation in the year before and following his baptism and argues that the new identity to which he committed himself bore few of the hallmarks of the orthodoxy with which he is historically identified. Both a historical study of the specific case of Augustine and a theoretical reconsideration of the conditions under which conversion occurs, this book explores the role religion has in providing the materials and tools through which self-formation and reformation occurs. 410 0$aDivinations. 606 $aConversion$xChristianity 606 $aManichaeism 606 $aApostasy$xChristianity 610 $aAncient Studies. 610 $aAutobiography. 610 $aBiography. 610 $aClassics. 610 $aReligion. 610 $aReligious Studies. 615 0$aConversion$xChristianity. 615 0$aManichaeism. 615 0$aApostasy$xChristianity. 676 $a270.2092 676 $aB 700 $aBeDuhn$b Jason$0880144 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910788596403321 996 $aAugustine's Manichaean dilemma$93690350 997 $aUNINA LEADER 05391oam 22013214 450 001 9910157524803321 005 20250426110542.0 010 $a9781475561739 010 $a1475561733 010 $a9781475561807 010 $a1475561806 035 $a(CKB)3710000001001324 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC4774660 035 $a(IMF)1STPEA2016003 035 $a1STPEA2016003 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000001001324 100 $a20020129d2016 uf 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $2rdacontent 182 $2rdamedia 183 $2rdacarrier 200 10$aDemocratic Republic of São Tomé and Príncipe : $eSecond Review under the Extended Credit Facility, and Request for Waivers for Nonobservance of Performance Criterion and Modification of Performance Criteria-Press Release; Staff Report; and Statement by the Executive Director for the Democratic Republic of São Tomé and Príncipe 210 1$aWashington, D.C. :$cInternational Monetary Fund,$d2016. 215 $a1 online resource (75 pages) $cillustrations, tables 225 1 $aIMF Staff Country Reports 311 08$a9781475561722 311 08$a1475561725 330 3 $aThis paper discusses São Tomé and Príncipe?s Second Review Under the Extended Credit Facility (ECF) and Request for Waivers for Nonobservance of Performance Criteria and modification of performance criteria. The economic outlook for 2017 and the medium term is favorable, but not without risks. The main sources of short-term risks to the outlook are ongoing pressure on foreign exchange supply, liquidation of Bank Equador, and continued weakness in the banking sector. In addition, the economy will remain vulnerable to global developments, including weak demand in the key European and emerging markets. The IMF staff recommends completion of the second review and the disbursement of an amount equivalent to SDR 634,285 under the ECF arrangement. 410 0$aIMF Staff Country Reports; Country Report ;$vNo. 2016/385 606 $aEconomic development 606 $aBanks and Banking$2imf 606 $aFinance: General$2imf 606 $aMacroeconomics$2imf 606 $aPublic Finance$2imf 606 $aStatistics$2imf 606 $aBanks$2imf 606 $aDepository Institutions$2imf 606 $aMicro Finance Institutions$2imf 606 $aMortgages$2imf 606 $aMonetary Policy$2imf 606 $aGeneral Aggregative Models: General$2imf 606 $aFinancial Institutions and Services: Government Policy and Regulation$2imf 606 $aNational Government Expenditures and Related Policies: General$2imf 606 $aTaxation, Subsidies, and Revenue: General$2imf 606 $aData Collection and Data Estimation Methodology$2imf 606 $aComputer Programs: Other$2imf 606 $aBanking$2imf 606 $aPublic finance & taxation$2imf 606 $aFinancial services law & regulation$2imf 606 $aLabour$2imf 606 $aincome economics$2imf 606 $aEconometrics & economic statistics$2imf 606 $aBank deposits$2imf 606 $aInternational reserves$2imf 606 $aCommercial banks$2imf 606 $aNational accounts$2imf 606 $aCentral banks$2imf 606 $aFinancial institutions$2imf 606 $aFinancial services$2imf 606 $aRevenue administration$2imf 606 $aBanks and banking$2imf 606 $aForeign exchange reserves$2imf 606 $aNational income$2imf 606 $aState supervision$2imf 606 $aFinance, Public$2imf 606 $aRevenue$2imf 606 $aIncome economics$2imf 607 $aSão Tomé and Príncipe, Democratic Republic of$2imf 615 0$aEconomic development. 615 7$aBanks and Banking 615 7$aFinance: General 615 7$aMacroeconomics 615 7$aPublic Finance 615 7$aStatistics 615 7$aBanks 615 7$aDepository Institutions 615 7$aMicro Finance Institutions 615 7$aMortgages 615 7$aMonetary Policy 615 7$aGeneral Aggregative Models: General 615 7$aFinancial Institutions and Services: Government Policy and Regulation 615 7$aNational Government Expenditures and Related Policies: General 615 7$aTaxation, Subsidies, and Revenue: General 615 7$aData Collection and Data Estimation Methodology 615 7$aComputer Programs: Other 615 7$aBanking 615 7$aPublic finance & taxation 615 7$aFinancial services law & regulation 615 7$aLabour 615 7$aincome economics 615 7$aEconometrics & economic statistics 615 7$aBank deposits 615 7$aInternational reserves 615 7$aCommercial banks 615 7$aNational accounts 615 7$aCentral banks 615 7$aFinancial institutions 615 7$aFinancial services 615 7$aRevenue administration 615 7$aBanks and banking 615 7$aForeign exchange reserves 615 7$aNational income 615 7$aState supervision 615 7$aFinance, Public 615 7$aRevenue 615 7$aIncome economics 676 $a338.9 801 0$bDcWaIMF 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910157524803321 996 $aDemocratic Republic of Sa?o Tome? and Pri?ncipe$92612343 997 $aUNINA
