In the raging debates about the relationship between religion and politics, no one has explored the religious benefits and challenges of public engagement for Christian believers - until now. Theologically rich, philosophically rigorous, politically, historically and sociologically informed, this book advances contemporary discussions of 'religion and public life' in fundamental ways.

Evil and the Augustinian Tradition casts new light on Augustine, Reinhold Niebuhr and Hannah Arendt, as well as on the problem of evil, the nature of tradition, and the role of theological and ethical discourse in contemporary thought.
