On Self-Harm, Narcissism, Atonement and the Vulnerable Christ
explores St. Augustine of Hippo's theology of sin, described as
various forms of self-loathing and self-destruction, in addition to
sin's antidote, a vulnerable relationship with the crucified
Christ. Incorporating recent thinking on self-destruction and
self-loathing into his reading of Augustine, David Vincent Meconi
explores why we are not only allured by sin, but will actually
destroy ourselves to attain it, even when we are all too well aware
that this sin will bring us no true, lasting pleasure. Meconi
traces the phenomena of self-destruction and self-loathing from
Augustine to today. In particular, he focuses in on how self-love
can turn to self-harm, and the need to provide salvage for such
woundedness by surrendering to Christ, showing how Augustine's
theology of sin and salvation is still crucially applicable in
contemporary life and societies.
