Augustine and Contemporary Social Issues
This book focuses on applying the thought of Saint Augustine to address a number of persistent 21st-century socio-political issues. The volume addresses the themes of fallenness, politics, race, and desire. Drawing together Augustinian ideas such as concupiscence, virtue, vice, habit, and sin through social and textual analysis, it provides fresh Augustinian perspectives on new--yet somehow familiar--quandaries.
Each chapter examines Augustine's perspective for deepening our understanding of human nature and demonstrates the contemporary relevance of his It includes contributions from theology, philosophy, and political science.
