Description
The book "Augustine: Christian Truth and Fractured Humanity Christian Theology in Context" by Carol Harrison explores the impact of social and cultural influences on the life and beliefs of Augustine. It discusses how his understanding of Christian truth and human imperfection led to a departure from classical ideals and influenced the development of Western Christian theology.
This book is the first systematic attempt to consider the social and cultural context that shaped the life and thought of Augustine. Carol Harrison shows how his beliefs in both Christian truth and human fallenness effected a decisive break with classical ideals of perfection and shaped the distinctive theology of Western Christiandom.
