In this book Miles Hollingworth investigates how Augustine's
understanding of discipleship causes him to resist the normal
tendencies of Western political thinkers. On the one hand, he does
not attempt to delineate an ideal state in the classical fashion:
to his mind, the Garden of Eden can be an archetype for nothing on
earth. And on the other hand, he does not seek to achieve an
ideological perspective on the proper relations between Church and
State. In fact his Pilgrim City is shown to lie beyond utopianism,
realism and the normal terms of political discourse. It stands,
instead, as a singular challenge to the aspirations of politics in
the West; and so standing it calls for a reassessment of his
position in the history of political thought.
This book will be of interest to theologians as well as historians
of political thought. It will also appeal to anyone with an
interest in the history of ideas.
