Jean B. Elshtain/ Augustine and the Limits of Politics
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page essay that analyzes Augustine and the Limits of Politics by Jean Bethke Elshtain. Elshtain's analysis of Augustine, in general, reveals a more moderate and more balanced persona than people today often suppose. Individuals who have judged Augustine by popular attitudes towards his teaching will find this book to be quite enlightening. For one thing, as Elshtain's title indicates, Augustine was conscious--as many modern figures are not--that there are limits to what politics can accomplish. No additional sources cited.
