Augustinian Studies

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

Augustinian Studies is a journal devoted to the study of Saint Augustine. The Editors welcome contributions from a variety of disciplines and perspectives, including history, philosophy, and theology. Although the primary emphasis of the journal is the study of Augustine himself, articles illuminating aspects of the study of Augustine more broadly conceived (for example, studies of other persons, groups, or issues in Augustine’s time, or the extent that such studies bear on or contribute to an understanding of Augustine’s life and thought and on the influences on Augustine or on his influence on others. The annual Saint Augustine Lecture, given each Fall at Villanova University, is published in the pages of this journal. Augustinian Studies also prints substantive review articles on appropriate publications.

In the preparation of manuscripts, authors are requested to follow The Chicago Manual of Style. Full titles of Augustine’s works may be used; when abbreviations are used, those given in Augustine Through the Ages: an Encyclopedia or in the Augustinus-Lexikon are preferred. When citing the book, chapter and paragraph for one of Augustine's works, the style of the critical edition should be used. The texts of ancient authors which are given in modern translation in the text should usually be accompanied by the original text in note. In some cases it may be preferable to include key Latin or Greek terms within the text in parentheses at appropriate places.
