Beschreibung:
Alexander Y. Hwang is assistant professor of historical theology at Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary.
Intrepid Lover of Perfect Grace provides students and scholars with the first biography of Prosper of Aquitaine (388-455) and the first book-length study in English of this important figure in the history of Christianity. With the death of Augustine in 430, Prosper of Aquitaine quickly emerged as Augustines defender as the Church debated his teaching on grace. Prospers significance in the controversy that ensued, his role as Pope Leos adviser, and his continuation of Jeromes chronicle have long been recognized by historians and theologians. Scholarship exclusively devoted to Prosper, however, has not reflected his importance. While certain aspects of Prospers life, his individual writings, and connections to Pope Leo and Augustine have been treated at length, a book-length biography until now has eluded the saint.
