In this volume, Veronica Roberts Ogle offers a new reading of
Augustine's political thought as it is presented in City of God.
Focusing on the relationship between politics and the earthly city,
she argues that a precise understanding of Augustine's vision can
only be reached through a careful consideration of the work's
rhetorical strategy and sacramental worldview. Ogle draws on
Christian theology and political thought, moral philosophy, and
semiotic theory to make her argument. Laying out Augustine's
understanding of the earthly city, she proceeds by tracing out his
rhetorical strategy and concludes by articulating his sacramental
vision and the place of politics within it. Ogle thus suggests a
new way of determining the status of politics in Augustine's
thought. Her study clarifies seemingly contradictory passages in
his text, highlights the nuance of his position, and captures the
unity of his vision as presented in City of God.
