"Confessions 7.9": What Has Athens To Do with Jerusalem?
Herzman, Ronald
Journal of Education, v179 n1 p49-60 1997
The "Confessions" of St. Augustine is important as a record of the process and results of the struggle between cultures of Athens and Jerusalem as a confrontation between classical and biblical learning. As such, it models an approach to the multicultural tensions of today. An example is given in cultural conflicts between Islam and Christianity. (SLD)
