Der antimanichaische Augustin: Zeuge und Polemiker in Bloomington, MN

This work analyzes anti-Manichaean passages from the entire oeuvre of Augustine. By comparing them with Manichaean texts, Mirjam Kudella unveils tensions between Augustine's representation of the Manichaeans and their own self-understanding. She also depicts the shape of Augustine's polemic via emphases, caricatures and a stereotyped language.
