Livro - Augustine - Political Writings

Mais informações sobre o produto

This collection brings together thirty-five letters and sermons of Augustine, Bishop of Hippo from 396-430 AD, that deal with political matters.

The letters and sermons are both practical and principled and treat many essential themes in Augustine´s thought, including the responsibilities of citizenship, the relationship between the church and secular authority, religious coercion, and war and peace.

These texts complement Augustine´s classic The City of God, and give students direct insight into the political and social world of late antiquity with which Augustine was immediately involved.
