Augustine and his Critics (Hardcover, New): Robert Dodaro, George Lawless Augustine and his Critics (Hardcover, New)
Robert Dodaro, George Lawless
R4,505 Discovery Miles 45 050 Ships in 10 - 15 working days


Augustine and his Critics examines the arguments of certain strident, present-day critics of Augustine. It responds to the more inaccurate and unfair of these criticisms and argues in favour of some of the much-neglected historical, philosophical and theological perspectives which lie behind Augustine's most unpopular convictions.
Augustine and his Critics presents a stimulating, insightful analysis of Augustine's thought and of critical responses to that thought. Augustine's writings have continually met with both kindly readers and frank critics and interest in his thought has not waned even in our own times. Contemporary philosophers, theologians, spiritual writers, cultural theorists and social scientists take him to task for a number of positions ranging from human sexuality and the body, gender, personal freedom, religious liberty and the ethics of force, to his concepts of the self and God. More often than not today, Augustine's outlook is characterised as 'pessimistic', and he is charged with responsibility for a certain Christian malaise.

Augustine and his Critics (Paperback, Revised): Robert Dodaro, George Lawless Augustine and his Critics (Paperback, Revised)
Robert Dodaro, George Lawless
R1,305 Discovery Miles 13 050 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Augustine of Hippo (AD 354-430) is arguably the most controversial Christian thinker in history. His positions on philosophical and theological concerns have been the subjects of intense scrutiny and criticism from his lifetime to the present.
Augustine and his Critics gathers twelve specialists' responses to modern criticisms of his thought, covering: personal and religious freedom; the self and God; sexuality, gender and the body; spirituality; asceticism; cultural studies; and politics.
Stimulating and insightful, the collection offers forceful arguments for neglected historical, philosophical and theological perspectives which are behind some of Augustine's most unpopular convictions.

Augustine of Hippo and his Monastic Rule (Paperback, New Ed): George Lawless Augustine of Hippo and his Monastic Rule (Paperback, New Ed)
George Lawless
R1,094 Discovery Miles 10 940 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

The Rule of Augustine, the oldest monastic rule with Western origins, still provides inspiration for over 150 Christian communities. This account of Augustine's contributions to the monastic spirituality of the late Roman world and of his achievement as a monastic legislator fills a critical gap in Augustinian studies. Tracing Augustine's progress from a philosophical to a biblical spirituality and his development of a monastic ideal largely shaped by Greco-Roman philosophical and rhetorical influences, Lawless also discusses Augustine's renunciation of sexuality, property, and worldly ambition at his conversion as a foreshadowing of the future vows of chastity, poverty, and obedience. In addition, he argues for the existence of a monastery at Thagaste from 388 to 391. This book includes new English translations of the Regulations for a Monastery, the Rule, and Letter 211.
