Pride, Politics, and Humility in Augustine's City of God (Hardcover)

This book is the first to interpret and reflect on Augustine's
seminal argument concerning humility and pride, especially in
politics and philosophy, in The City of God. Mary Keys shows how
contemporary readers have much to gain from engaging Augustine's
lengthy argument on behalf of virtuous humility. She also
demonstrates how a deeper understanding of the classical and
Christian philosophical-rhetorical modes of discourse in The City
of God enables readers to appreciate and evaluate Augustine's
nuanced case for humility in politics, philosophy, and religion.
Comprised of a series of interpretive essays and commentaries
following Augustine's own order of segments and themes in The City
of God, Keys' volume unpacks the author's complex text and
elucidates its challenge, meaning, and importance for contemporary
readers. It also illuminates a central, yet easily underestimated
theme with perennial relevance in a classic work of political
thought and religion.
