medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
The following article was alluded to in one of my posts. It places Augustine's rigorist position on lying within the context of the personalist philosophy I've tried to articulate, hence offers a more detailed exposition of why even slight dishonesty was dehumanizing in Augustine's view: Paul J. Griffiths, "The Gift and the Lie: Augustine on Lying," Communio 26 (Spring 1999) 3-30
