Valuable thanks to the historical information offered, but also important for the doctrinaire or philosophical research, the wok of Bart van Egmond dedicated to Augustine's Early Thought on the Redemptive Function of Divine Judgement, is for sure an useful and interesting tool in understanding Confessions' author eschatological conception, the relevance of the cultural context of his times and of Manichaeism on some of his ideas, but also the actual aspects
that can be found there.
Bart van Egmond is a minister at the Reformed Church (liberated) in Capelle aan den IJssel, the Netherlands. His doctoral studies were conducted at Kampen Theological University and the Catholic University of Leuven.
