Parting Knowledge

Viac o knihe

Exploring the complex relationship between knowledge and separation, this collection of essays delves into themes of self-division, sin, and grace through the lens of Augustine's interpretations of Genesis. Half of the essays engage with Augustine's views on original sin and the quest for transcendence, while the others focus on concepts like forgiveness, morality, and the beauty found in imperfection. Together, they highlight the struggle for self-knowledge, suggesting that disfigurement can lead to profound transformation and understanding.
