Descripción
Sumario:B. discusses Augustine's "radically different understanding of the relations between divine governance and human freedom" (p. 326) flowing from an interpretation of Paul to the Romans after 396. The intent of the article is to show how the social context helps to explain the acceptance of his position in North Africa and its rejection in Italy and Gaul. A fuller sense of the ways in which Augustine was dependent on the tradition for his positions on guilt, grace and freedom would allow the insights of this article to be more prominent.
