Why Study St Augustine of Hippo with John Milbank

Augustine was born in Roman North Africa in 354 and died as Bishop of Hippo, also in North Africa, in 430. He was one of the most prolific Christian writers of all time and all western Christian theology has been enormously influenced by his thought. He is also a controversial figure, for some he is the great thinker of the early Christianity exploring the implications of belief for individuals and society. For others he is a dour figure bringing dismal ideas such as ‘Original Sin’ into our discourse. Here John Milbank explores some aspects of Augustine’s theology and notes how his own theology owes a debt to Augustine.
