In the twentieth century especially, Augustine has been pivotal to the development of modern and contemporary political and social construction. Schools of Augustinianism proliferated, especially in French, German, and English, and debated critical questions around the relationship of the church and state, war, justice, ethics, virtue, and the life of citizenship, interpreted through a lens provided by Augustine. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePolitical Augustinianism \u003c\/b\u003eexamines these modern political readings of Augustine, providing an extensive account of the pivotal French, British, and American strands of interpretation.
