Confessions .' -Scott MacDonald, Professor of Philosophy and Norma K. Regan Professor in Christian Studies, Cornell University
An introduction to the political thought of Augustine, if not to Christian political thought in general. It includes selections from "City of God", as well as from many lesser-known writings of Augustine.
