"De Bono Coniugali" and "De Sancta Virginitate" were written in the same year. These book rebuff the Manichees, who argued that marriage was evil, and the followers of Jovinian, who argued that the married state was as meritorious as that of virginity. The first work analyses why marriage is good, and the second why virginity is a higher good.

Journal of Roman Studies
«... a useful volume.»
Dutch Review of Church History
«The notes are numerous and helpful, with a pleasing lightness of touch ... provides a valuable contribution to the understanding of Augustine's sexual ethics, so often negatively interpreted in the light of his teaching on Original Sin.»
Ecclesiastical History
«A most welcome edition and translation ... The introduction is clear and straightforward ... The Latin is beautifully printed and the notes, though relatively spare in extent, are informative; the translation is formal but modern.»
