For scholars and Christians interested in political theory

Bridges the gap between skepticism and liberal politics

You will discover a path to effective Christian engagement

This book explores how Augustine's ideas can shape liberal politics.

This books central claim is that a close reading of Augustines epistemology can assist political theologians in developing affirmative accounts of political liberalism. Set within a scholarly context profoundly hostile to liberal politics, this book suggests that Christian communities can work fruitfully with political liberals based on common principles. Placing Augustines reading of the skeptics in dialogue with contemporary culture, the book endeavours to construct a viable form of liberal Christian politics that is attentive both to Augustines sin-sensitive account of public life and his eschatological vision of the church.
