Product Description

Christ and the Just Society in the Thought of Augustine is a fresh study of Augustines political thought and ethics in relation to his theology. The book examines fundamental issues in Augustines theological and political ethics in relation to the question, how did Augustine conceive the just society? At the heart of the books approach is the relationship that Augustine outlines in his City of God and other writings between Christ and those believers who acknowledge him to be the only source of the souls virtue. The book demonstrates how Augustine sees Christs grace and the scriptures contributing to the souls growth in virtue, especially as these issues are framed by the Pelagian controversy. Finally, the implications which Augustine sees for Christs mediation of virtue are examined in relation to his revision of the ancient concepts of heroism and the statesman.
