Download and read online ebook The Oxford Guide to the Historical Reception of Augustine write by Karla Pollmann. This book was released on 2013. The Oxford Guide to the Historical Reception of Augustine available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. This work is a ground-breaking international and interdisciplinary enterprise on the impact of the thought and work of Augustine of Hippo (AD 354 - 430). Arguably the most influential early Christian thinker in the western part of the Roman Empire, Augustine's impact has reached further than the religious domain and he has become a veritable icon of Western culture. The work maps this influence not just in theology, his traditional area of prominence, but far beyond, taking into account fields such as political theory, ethics, music, education, semiotics, literature, philosophy, psychotherapy, religion, and popular culture. Beginning with a detailed introduction, it offers chapter-length discussions and contextualization on the general characteristics of Augustine's reception in various periods, as well as on specific themes as wide-ranging as Islam and gender. The work also surveys the material transmission and intellectual reception of almost all of Augustine's extant works, documented in the light of recent research.--
