The Directors of the Oxford Conference, meeting on 2 July 2013, remembered with gratitude
and affection Gerald Bonner, Reader Emeritus at Durham University (UK) and
Distinguished Visiting Professor of Early Christian Studies at the Catholic
University of America. He contributed to patristic studies both by his own
publications, which included the classic St Augustine
of Hippo: life and controversies (1963, rev.ed. 1986), and through his
prompt and kindly encouragement of fellow-scholars. He attended the Conference
for many years, and it was a sadness that his health did not allow him to be
there in 2011. There will be many appreciations of his work: meanwhile, his
colleagues at Durham have posted a
brief account of his life by his family https://www.dur.ac.uk/
