This book arises out of contemporary questions regarding the nature
and formation of the church amidst an economically divided society.
Looking to Augustine of Hippo for guidance, Jonathan D. Ryan argues
that the movement from private self-interest toward common love of
God and neighbor is fundamental to the church's formation and
identity amidst contemporary contexts of economic inequality. Ryan
demonstrates the centrality of this theme in Augustine's Sermons
and his monastic instruction (principally the Rule), illustrating
how it shapes his pastoral guidance on matters pertinent to
economic division, including use of material resources, and
attitudes toward rich and poor. By reading Augustine's Sermons
alongside his monastic instruction, this volume allows for a closer
understanding of how Augustine's vision of a common life is
reflected in his pastoral guidance to the wider congregation. The
book's concluding reflections consider what the church in our time
might learn from these aspects of Augustine's teaching regarding
the formation of a common life, as members are drawn together in
love of God and neighbour.
