Mathijs Lamberigts' long and prolific research career started with thestudy of the controversy between Julian of Aeclanum and Augustine ofHippo on the issues of human free will and divine grace. This researchinterest rapidly came to include all aspects of the turbulent life, themassive oeuvre, and the complex ideas of the doctorgratiae, imbedded in the historical, political, socio-economic, religious, ecclesial, and intellectual context of the fourth and fifth centuries.Driven by a deep respect for the original sources, and always wellinformed about the established scholarship, Lamberigts deployed arigorous historical-critical method in his publications. The firstnineteen contributions of the present volume reflect this first love forAugustinian studies. As illustrated by the cover image, taken from thefamous sixteenth-century Leuven edition of Augustine's collectedwritings, Lamberigts' historical-critical study of Augustine standswithin a rich and enduring Leuven tradition. The same old printexpresses the gradual expansion of Lamberigts' research interests, whichcame to embrace Augustine's legacy in thefifteenth-seventeenthcenturies. In fact at the end of the Middle Ages, Augustine and hisdoctrine of sin, grace, and free will found renewed interest, evenbecoming part of the ideological-religious foundations of Martin Luther- who was after all an Augustinian friar - and hence of theReformation.All parties involved in the religious controversies of this periodappealed to the doctor gratiae to justifytheir own position.Lamberigts has always shown a vivid interest in these developments, andespecially in how Augustinian thinking became a doctrinal pillar ofLeuven theology in the Early Modern Era. Consequently, part ofLamberigt's scholarly work has focused on figures such as MichaelBaiusand Cornelius Jansenius of Ypres, on movements such as Jansenism, aswell as on the Jansenists' theological adversaries, the Jesuits. Eightessays of this volume evoke this particular period in church history.These twenty-seven papers are offered to Mathijs Lamberigts by formerstudents and colleagues, out of gratitude for his generous personality, for his inspiring scholarship, and for his academic leadership.
