What is Augustine : Ancient Thought Baptized about?

The aim of this work is to show how Augustine adapted a deeply Platonic outlook to the new world of Christianity, and how he constructed a vision in which Platonism and Christianity pointed in the same direction. Augustine is skillfully contextualized, while the enduring, if often unpopular, power of his claims on a variety of topics is discussed in a manner that puts a fresh perspective on some of his chief concerns. These include: divine and human love; marriage and sexuality; the lust for power; and God's providence and omnipotence., Issue: до 2011-01, Includes bibliographical references (p. xix) and indexes, Approaching Augustine -- Words, signs and things -- Certainty, belief and understanding -- Soul, body and personal identity -- Will, love and right action -- Individuals, social institutions and political life -- Evil, justice and divine omnipotence -- Augustinus redivivus -- Appendix 1.
