Description
This collection, taken from the works of St. Augustine, has been arranged so as to give the reader an organized, comprehensive view of the great African saint's political ideas. These, no less than his ideas on sin, grace, and predestination, have long been an object of study and controversy. Selections are drawn from various sources, including: • The City of God • Expositions on the Book of Psalms • Lectures or Tractates on the Gospel According to St. John • Letters of St. Augustine Edited, with an Introduction by Henry Paolucci. Includes an interpretive analysis by Dino Bigongiari.
