In the spirit of the recent “blog conferences,” I plan to host a conference in the latter part of the summer (August 1st-16th) focused on St. Augustine’s enduring influence on various theologians and philosophers from the Middle Ages to the present.

If your mini-essay was accepted, I need the finished piece by Friday, July 25th.  If you have signed up as a respondent, I will email you the mini-essay to which you have been assigned by July 26th.  After you have completed your short commentary (approximately two-three short paragraphs of critical and charitable interaction), please email it to me no later than Weds. July 30th.  Email contact:  [email protected].
