Säkularität und Pastoral bei Augustinus von Hippo

Secularism is not just a modern phenomenon. This volume looks at writings by Augustine of Hippo to show how the idea of religious neutrality emerged in late antiquity, an age of huge upheavals. However, in Augustine, it always remains part of a religiously motivated strategy. The results of this volume go beyond the scope of Augustine research to urge us to reconsider the relationship between religion and society.
