The Political Writings of St. Augustine is a comprehensive collection of the political writings of St. Augustine, a renowned Christian theologian and philosopher of the fourth and fifth centuries. The book is edited by Henry Paolucci and includes translations of Augustine's most significant works on politics, including The City of God, The Letter to Marcellinus, and The Enchiridion. The City of God is Augustine's most famous work on politics, and it explores the relationship between the earthly city and the heavenly city. Augustine argues that the earthly city is founded on the love of self, while the heavenly city is founded on the love of God. The Letter to Marcellinus is a defense of Christianity against the charges of paganism, and it argues that Christianity is not a threat to the Roman Empire. The Enchiridion is a handbook for Christian living, and it discusses the duties of Christians in society. Overall, The Political Writings of St. Augustine provides a valuable insight into Augustine's political thought and his views on the relationship between religion and politics. The book is an essential read for anyone interested in the history of political philosophy and the role of religion in politics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
