Augustinian Studies is a peer-reviewed academic journal devoted to the study of Augustine of Hippo. Its primary focus is Augustine himself, examined from theological, philosophical, and historical perspectives.[1] Articles that address broader topics related to Augustine, such as studies of other figures, groups, or issues from his time, may also be included. Additionally, the journal publishes the annual Saint Augustine Lecture, held each fall at Villanova University.[2] A special double issue of Augustinian Studies, containing essays on Augustine's City of God, was published in 1999.[3]
The current editor-in-chief is Ian Clausen. The previous editor was Jonathan P. Yates, who replaced Allan D. Fitzgerald in 2012.[4] The journal is published by the Philosophy Documentation Center, in cooperation with the Augustinian Institute at Villanova University.
