Augustine is skillfully contextualized, while the enduring, if often unpopular, power of his claims on a variety of topics is discussed in a manner that puts a fresh perspective on some of his chief concerns. These include: divine and human love; marriage and sexuality; the lust for power; and God's providence and omnipotence.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46893086769303,"sku":"9780521589529","price":3616.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780521589529.webp?v=1770313743","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/augustine-ancient-thought-baptized-9780521589529","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
