- Summary:
- 'Charity after Augustine' explores why our attempts to build solidarity or social cohesion, at least in the West, have ended in disaster just as often as they have brought about a more just society. By focusing on concrete practices of love or charity, it probes the double-sided nature of the Christian concepts and practices of charity.
