Augustine : christian truth and fractured humanity

Por: Harrison, Carol.
Tipo de material: materialTypeLabelLibroSeries Christian theology in context.Editor: Oxford : Oxford University Press, 2004Edición: Reprint.Descripción: XIII, 242 p. ; 22 cm.ISBN: 0-19-875219-9.Tema(s): Agustín, Santo, Obispo de Hipona -- Crítica e interpretaciónResumen: St. Augustine, the North African bishop of Hippo (AD 354-430), has been much studied. But there has been no systematic attempt to consider the context which shaped his life and thought. Augustine's long and controversial career and his vast literary output provide unrivalled evidence for understanding the diverse ways in which Christianity confronted, assimilated, and finally transformed the traditional society of late antiquity. This book sets Augustine in his cultural and social context showing how, as a Christian, he came to terms with the philosophical and rhetorical ideals of classical culture, and, as a bishop, with the ecclesiastical, ascetic, and political structures of late antique society. According to Augustine, the Fall of man and Original sin fracture and vitiate mankind's ability to know or to will the good. This is revealed as the keystone of his theology, effecting a decisive break with classical ideals of perfection and shaping the distinctive theology of Western Christendom
