Augustine on the Image of God, Identity and the Church

The concept of image is central to Augustine's argument for human dignity and it is the basis for Augustine's appreciation of human identity. The present volume charts Augustine's views on human identity in God's image and explicates its applications to imagine the communal embeddedness of individuality in a growingly individualistic world.
