Political Augustinianism

Theology

““Discussions of (and especially the disagreements about) Augustine’s political thought have enlivened studies of this most influential Latin prelate of late antiquity. What Michael Bruno has done to place rival interpretations alongside each other and in the context of other historical and historiographical developments will be welcomed by veterans as well as by those new to the fields of historical theology and political theology. Bruno’s study is an informed, insightful, and eminently readable report on relatively recent research, which exhibits an admirable command of the man and texts his historians have probed.” —Peter Iver Kaufman University of Richmond "Michael Bruno’s Political Augustinianism is the guidebook we needed to connect the new work on Augustine’s political thought in the United States to its European roots. Here we meet all the key interpreters and appreciate the complex ways that they have applied Augustine’s thought to the tragic and transformative political circumstances of the past century, from pre-war France to post-9/11 North America. Beyond this, Bruno manages to advance his own distinctive view: an Augustinian political virtue ethics for the present day. We need this book—not just as Augustinian scholars, but as Christians endeavoring to live as faithful citizens of two cities."”
