| 520 | |a "On God, The Soul, Evil and the Rise of Christianity addresses how monotheism and Christianity emerged in late antiquity. It does so by looking closely at the development of the thought of Augustine of Hippo, whose complex spiritual trajectory included Gnosticism, academic skepticism, pagan Platonism, and orthodox Christianity. John Peter Kenney examines what Augustine found compelling about Christianity, and why he became convinced that his soul could enter into communion with a transcendent God. The apparently sudden shift of ancient culture to monotheism and Christianity was momentous, defining the subsequent nature of Western religion and thought. As a leading Augustinian scholar, Kenney explains the basic tenets of Augustine's spiritual and philosophical development and illustrates how he provides an unusually clear vantage point to understand the essential ideas that drove that transition."--Page 4 of cover. | ||
