Description

Explore the profound connection between faith and social structures in Saeculum: History and Society in the Theology of St Augustine. Published by Cambridge University Press, this work presents Professor Markus's deep study of how Augustine addressed the purpose of human society. This book provides a clear look at his reflections on the Church, history, and the social world. Readers will discover how Augustine related his ideas to both his own contemporary context and older intellectual traditions. The text examines the specific ideas he absorbed from his environment to build his unique theological framework. A major focus of the study is Augustine's rejection of the sacralization of the established social order. The final chapters explore what this rejection means for a theology of history, making it a valuable resource for students and scholars of Christian theology and historical thought.
