Publisher's Summary

Since his retirement as Archbishop of Canterbury and his return to academic life (Master of Magdalene College Cambridge), Rowan Williams has demonstrated a massive new surge of intellectual energy.

In this new audiobook, he turns his attention to St Augustine. St Augustine not only shaped the development of Western theology, he also made a major contribution to political theory (The City of God) and, through his Confessions, to the understanding of human psychology.

Rowan Williams has an entirely fresh perspective on these matters, and the chapter titles in this new audiobook demonstrate this at a glance - 'Language Reality and Desire', 'Politics and the Soul', 'Paradoxes of Self Knowledge', 'Insubstantial Evil'. As with his previous titles, Dostoevsky, The Edge of Words and Faith in the Public Square, this new study is sure to be a major contribution on a compelling subject.

Must read

Having read Augustine’s writing directly but never having read scholarship about Augustine, this was an incredible place to start. Both approachable for a non-expert and potently insightful, it gave me a newfound appreciation and sense of wonder for many aspects of Augustine’s body of work.

Could not recommend more highly, providing you have read at least a little of Augustine himself.
