Augustine On True Religion
Introduction
Augustine’s work ‘On True Religion’ plays a key role in the history of monotheism. It is influenced by ancient philosophical monotheism and Manichaean dualism. It rejects polytheism and Judaism for their alleged lack of philosophical grounding, but it also shows up ways of intellectual engagement between different religions and worldviews.
Aims of Project
Continuity and Transformation in Late Antique Monotheism
The outcome of this project led by Dr Josef Lössl is a new translation and commentary together with a newly discovered translation of the work into Byzantine Greek dating from the 14th century.
