But how often do its readers respond in kind? Here three scholars who share a longstanding fascination with sexuality and Christian discourse attempt to do just that. Where prior interpreters have been inclined either to defend or to criticize Augustine's views, Virginia Burrus, Mark Jordan, and Karmen MacKendrick set out both to seduce and to be seduced by his text.Often ambivalent but always passionately engaged, their readings of the Confessions center on four sets of intertwined themes-secrecy and confession, asceticism and eroticism, constraint and freedom, and time and eternity. 517 $aSeducing Augustine 517 $aOn the Edge of Freedom 606 $aSex$xReligious aspects$xChristianity 615 0$aSex$xReligious aspects$xChristianity. 676 $a270.2092 700 $aBurrus$b Virginia$0729834 701 $aJordan$b Mark D$0971804 701 $aMacKendrick$b Karmen$f1962-$01116717 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910967428803321 996 $aSeducing Augustine$94367055 997 $aUNINA
