Augustine and the Art of Ruling in the Carolingian Imperial Period
The Open Access version of this book, available at http://www.tandfebooks.com/doi/view/10.4324/9781351116022, has been made available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives 4.0 licence. DOI https://doi.org/10.4324/9781351116022Published with the support of the Swiss National Science Foundation.This volume is an investigation of how Augustine was received in the Carolingian period, and the elements of his thought which had an impact on Carolingian ideas of ‘state’, rulership and ethics. It focuses on Alcuin of York and Hincmar of Rheims, authors and political advisers to Charlemagne and to Charles the Bald, respectively. It examines how they used Augustinian political thought and ethics, as manifested in the De civitate Dei, to give more weight to their advice. A comparative approach sheds light on the differences between Charlemagne’s reign and that of his grandson. It scrutinizes Alcuin’s and Hincmar’s discussions of empire, rulership and the moral conduct of political agents during which both drew on the De civitate Dei, although each came away with a different understanding. By means of a philological–historical approach, the book offers a deeper reading and treats the Latin texts as political discourses defined by content and language.

Augustine and Nicene Theology
In this collection of essays, Michel René Barnes offers a new readingof the character and development of Latin Trinitarian theology in the fourthand fifth centuries. Although Augustine is the principal focus, he is treatedhere as an inheritor of an earlier Latin tradition. Antecedent theologians,most notably including Marius Victorinus, are given a revised interpretation,and Augustine himself is explored from multiple angles.At every turn, developments in Augustine's thought are shown to be aresponse to the anti-Nicene theologies of the period. Most significantly, thisview decries the modern 'systematic' tendency to engage with Augustine onlythough a simplified version of late-nineteenth-century categories. Thisaccusation invites the question of how far modern theology can actually engagewith Patristic theology at all, but Barnes offers a way forward.

Augustine
Augustine: From Rhetor to Theologian arose from a conference held at Trinity College, Toronto, to celebrate the 1600th anniversary of the conversion to Catholic Christianity of Augustine of Hippo. Fifteen papers from international scholars make up this book. Augustine set his stamp on the Latin Church, yet only in the twentieth century, with its profound, even paradigmatic change did the descendants of that church -- Anglican, Reformed, and Roman Catholic -- recognize the degree to which their inbred attitudes and theological positions were ""Augustinian."" It is, however, another measure of the importance of Augustine that many aspects of his life and meanings of his writings are still disputed. This continuing investigation and debate is evidenced in this volume.
