Description
Explore how St Augustine of Hippo became the earliest thinker to develop a distinctively Christian political and social philosophy in this scholarly examination from Continuum Studies in Philosophy. Augustine draws from Platonism and Stoicism whilst introducing biblical and Pauline conceptions of sin, grace and predestination, fundamentally transforming classical understandings of the political sphere. Rather than viewing humanity as perfectible through participation in moral community life, Augustine presents a radically different vision: humankind is fallen, bound by self-love and its destructive impulses. This volume reveals how Augustine reconceives the State and political order through a Christian lens, offering essential insights for philosophers, theologians and clergy seeking to understand the intersection of religious thought and political theory in Western intellectual history.

Key Features

Examines Augustine's foundational work in Christian political philosophy and social thought development.

Integrates Platonic and Stoic philosophical traditions with biblical and Pauline theological concepts.

Explores Augustine's revolutionary approach to understanding sin, grace and predestination in political contexts.

Part of Continuum Studies in Philosophy series, providing academic rigour for theological and philosophical study.

Addresses clergy, philosophers and scholars interested in the historical roots of Christian political theory.
