20: On entering the religious life, J could not abandon his books [Let.22,30]
27: Trier was J's favorite city in W. Europe
45: J's letter of affection to Rufinus [374: Ep.3 & 4]
60: allegorical after literal interpretation
76: "even morally offensive passages of the O.T.": Anglican Canon Kelly [morally offensive in the O.T.? Will he rewrite the OT?]
87: "Textual criticism is, of course, a modern science": Kelly ["Of course" is what Stanley Fish calls the giveaway that something is not "of course"]
92: "Paula's ruinously lavish charity": Kelly [Whom did it ruin?]
142: J calling Rome "the scarlet clad whore"
178: "the most vivid impression he leaves is of his conceit and vanity": Kelly
186: "Against Jovinian seems to modern readers ...": Kelly [modern readers = me]
272: "Augustine was the younger man, still at the beginning of what was to be an increasingly splendid career": Kelly [Place seeking?]
293; "These prophets offer difficulties which even [sic] modern scholarship finds baffling": Kelly
A sad book, which apparently is only too typical of the [now hidden] scorn and bitterness of the Anglican establishment. His Dictionary of the Popes is worthwhile. This book adds nothing.
