'As a work of constructive theology, [this work] will appeal to those interested in probing the often mystifying intersection of Christology, ecclesiology, and the doctrine of creation, even if, owing to the potential bedimming of the distinctions and systematic relations between various Augustinian dogmata, the conclusions reached by the author seem to cut against the grain of Augustine's thought, and to unsettle any easy identification of this Christological project as 'Augustinian.''
