    Peter Iver Kaufman shows that, although Giorgio Agamben represents Augustine as an admired pioneer of an alternative form of life, he also considers Augustine an obstacle keeping readers from discovering their potential. Kaufman develops a compelling, radical alternative to progressive politics by continuing the line of thought he introduced in On Agamben, Arendt, Christianity,...

They also propose that his 'political theology†? could be an especially valuable resource for 'an ethics of democratic citizenship†? or for 'hopeful citizenship†? in our times. Peter Kaufman argues that Augustine’s 'political theology†? o...

His skepticism raises several questions for historians. What roles did one of the most influen...
