The theme of 'Christianity and Classical Culture' is the
fundamental change in thought and action that occurred from the
reign of Augustus to the time of Augustine. The classical world
sought to practice politics and understand the world in purely
rational terms, but the difficulties of this program were already
evident as Christianity began developing a completely new
understanding of the human world. It is from this revolution in
ideas that our modern world was forged. W H Auden wrote of an
earlier edition in The New Republic: Since the appearance of the
first edition in 1940, I have read this book many times, and my
conviction of its importance to the understanding not only of the
epoch with which it is concerned, but also of our own, has
increased with each rereading.
