Augustine is an obvious choice for such an analysis, as his \u003ci\u003eDe Musica\u003c\/i\u003e is the only treatise on music by a Christian writer in the first five centuries AD; concerned not only with poetic metre and rhythm, but also with an ontology of music. Focusing on the six books of \u003ci\u003eDe Musica\u003c\/i\u003e, the \u003ci\u003eConfessions\u003c\/i\u003e and the \u003ci\u003eHomilies on the Psalms,\u003c\/i\u003e Carol Harrison argues that Augustine establishes a psychology, ethics and aesthetics of musical perception, which considered together form an effective theology of music. For Augustine, music-both heard and performed- becomes the means by which we can sense and participate in divine grace. Composed by one of the world's foremost Augustine scholars, this book is a concise and powerful exploration of Augustine's writing and reflections on music and, by extension, the intimate relationship between music, religion, and philosophy.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eCarol Harrison \u003c\/b\u003eis Lady Margaret Professor of Divinity at Oxford University, UK.
