This volume brings into dialogue the ancient wisdom of Augustine of
Hippo, a bishop of the early Christian Church of the fourth and
fifth centuries, with contemporary theologians and ethicists on the
topic of social justice. Each essay mines the major themes present
in Augustine's extensive corpus of writings-from his Confessions to
the City of God- with an eye to the following question: how can
this early church father so foundational to Christian doctrine and
teaching inform our twenty-first century context on how to create
and sustain a more just and equitable society? In his own day,
Augustine spoke to conditions of slavery, conflict and war,
violence and poverty, among many others. These conditions, while
reflecting the characteristics of our technological age, continue
to obstruct our collective efforts to bring about the common good
for the global human community. The contributors of this volume
have taken great care to read Augustine through the lens of his own
time and place; at the same time, they provide keen insights and
reflections which advance the conversation of social justice in the
present.
