The study of Augustine's political teachings has suffered from a
history of misreadings, both ancient and modern. It is only in
recent years that the traditional lines of "Augustinian pessimism"
have been opened to question. Scholars have begun to explore the
broader lines of Augustine's political thought in his letters and
sermons, and thus have been able to place his classic text, The
City of God, in its proper context. The essays in this volume take
stock of these recent developments and revisit old assumptions
about the significance of Augustine of Hippo for political thought.
They do so from many different perspectives, examining the
anthropological and theological underpinnings of Augustine's
thought, his critique of politics, his development of his own
political thought, and some of the later manifestations or uses of
his thought in the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, and today. This
new vision is at once more bracing, more hopeful, and more diverse
than earlier readings could have allowed.
