Political Augustinianism

Theology

“Bruno has written a fascinating and complete analytical survey of interpretations of Augustine’s political ideas proposed over most of the last century. It should be essential reading for all future students of the subject." —John Rist The Catholic University of America "What a gift Michael Bruno has given us! A new generation is turning to Augustine for wisdom about politics, but there is so much to learn: world-class scholars on both sides of the Atlantic have debated the subject for more than a century, asking different questions and drawing different conclusions. Bruno is the first to come to grips with this whole debate, and in doing so he helps launch a new century of Augustine scholarship.”
