A bold rereading of Augustinian thought for a world still haunted by slavery has led scholars to explore its resources for theorizing citizenship, virtue, and the role of religion in public life. However, a critical analysis of the enduring problem of the Christian master is needed to confront a racialized world. Matthew Elia's book develops a critical analysis of the Christian master, while also pressing toward an alternative interpretation of key concepts of ethical life, such as agency, virtue, and temporality. By drawing on Augustines politics and the resources of modern Black thought, the book breathes fresh life into conversations on religion and the public square, showing how ancient and contemporary sources clash and converge in surprising ways. It imaginatively carves a path forward for the enduring humanities inquiry into the nature of our common life and the perennial problem of social and political domination.
