{"product_id":"9781921511738","title":"Augustine: His Legacy and Relevance","description":"If the defining feature of the Middle Ages is it churches, the defining architect of its mind , heart and soul- at least until Aquinas - is St Augustine. The Church was the spiritual army whose leaders were its fathers. And in that sense, Augustine's thought is closer in modern terms to a revolutionary like Lenin than it is to a philosopher's. A philosopher may well be part of a broad movement, but his appeal is usually to first principles rather than to a body of faith, even if once philosophies are entrenched, very questionable first principles easily become matters of faith, and the collection of a philosophers' members form a kind of church. This collection examines Augustine's core ideas and brings scholars from the USA, EU, Australia and Asia.","brand":"ATF Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47060928561392,"sku":"9781921511738","price":36.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781921511738_p0.jpg?v=1763632201","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781921511738","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
