This volume of collected essays is a Festschrift for David Tracy. As such, it is a fitting tribute. The book consists of thirteen essays and an introduction by Susan Schreiner. The chapters all focus on aspects of the self in the reception of Augustine, beginning with Tracy's own essay, from which the volume takes its title, “Augustine Our Contemporary: The Overdetermined, Incomprehensible Self.” Chronologically the volume covers the period from Augustine himself to twentieth-century philosophy. The collection is united by its thematic focus, though the contributions are more pertinent for theologians and philosophers than for historians. There is no mention, for example, in any of the essays of the contributions of The Oxford Guide to this Historical Reception of Augustine (3 vols, ed. Karla Pollmann et. al. [Oxford University Press, 2013]), though many of the chapters treat scholars who have also been given entries in the OGHRA, and David Steinmetz's essay for chapter 6, “Luther and Augustine on Romans 9” was previously published in Steinmetz's own collection over thirty years ago, Luther in Context (Indiana University Press, 1986), though there is no mention of the reprinting and the editors treat it as an original contribution. As with most collected volumes, there are important chapters contained herein, but one is left without a clear understanding of what the volume as a whole has to contribute, aside from honoring the work of Tracy, which merits in many ways far more than what is offered here.
