The animating theme and great strength of the book is Grove's careful attention to Augustine' demonstration of the liturgical-linguistic process by which the Church is formed as and by the Whole Christ...Grove moves his readers from analysis about what Augustine says to learning how what Augustine says can give us purchase on who we are and who we hope to become.
