ET Silk - Harvard Theological Review, 1939 - cambridge.org
Boissier long ago remarked that Augustine's Dialogues (that is, the Contra Academicos, De
Beata Vita and De Ordine) reminded him in a way of Boethius's Consolatio Philosophiae. He
was dealing with the vexed question of Boethius's Christianity. It seemed to him that
