He does so mainly from the perspective of Platonism and Stoicism; but by introducing the biblical and Pauline conceptions of sin, grace and predestination he radically transforms the 'classical' understanding of the political. Robert Dyson's new book describes and analyses this 'transformation' in detail and shows Augustine's enormous influence upon the development of political thought down to the thirteenth century.Continuum studies in philosophy.Saint Augustine of HippoChristianity and politicsPolitical sciencePhilosophyHistoryChristianity and politics.Political sciencePhilosophyHistory.320.92Dyson R.
