Description
"Slaves of God provides the first philosophical explanation of Augustine's reasons for justifying slavery. It shows that once we understand why Augustine judged slavery permissible, we can appreciate the central role it plays in his broader religious, ethical, and political thought. It demonstrates this by examining the role slavery played in his conceptions of religion/worship, law, and citizenship. This monograph also situates Augustine in the Roman intellectual landscape of late antiquity, placing him in relation to Cicero, Seneca, Varro, and Lactantius"--,Provided by publisher.
