Augustinianism and Modern Theology

the long version

Focuses on a historical analysis of the genesis of the idea of pure nature, which arose in reaction to the distorted Augustinianism of nominalist theologians at the end ot the Middle Ages. This book is the companion volume to The Mystery of the Supernatural, focusing on a historical analysis of the relation between grace and nature as formulated by Augustine, adapted by Aquinas, and later fundamentally transformed by the very commentators on both authorities.
