Augustine - Christian Truth and Fractured Humanity

Zusatztext I think this book is a success in terms of its purposes! and an enjoyable read. Klappentext This book is the first systematic attempt to consider the social and cultural context that shaped the life and thought of Augustine. Carol Harrison shows how his beliefs in both Christian truth and human fallenness effected a decisive break with classical ideals of perfection and shaped the distinctive theology of Western Christiandom. Zusammenfassung Augustine (AD 354-430) is perhaps the most influential figure in the transition from pagan antiquity to the Middle Ages. This book sets him in his social and cultural context. It shows how his belief in Christian truth and his conviction of human fallenness cut at the roots of classical aspirations after perfection.
