| 520 | |a Contemporary scholarship on Augustine's political theology and thought focuses on book 19 of the City of God. This is a mistake and misses the rich political material in books 1-10. The dissertation argues that Augustine's reading of Roman religion in books 1-10 is essentially a political theological one. Through his reading of Roman history he asserts that the Roman Gods who rule the Roman Empire are in fact insidious demons that have enslaved the Romans. In his comprehensive analysis he develops an apocalyptic theological hermeneutic which forms the basis for the rest of his magnum opus. The dissertation offers an interpretation of the City of God broadly and its relevance for contemporary discussions in theology and political thought. | ||
