What does it mean to be a good Christian
citizen today? This book examines Augustine‘s ethics of citizenship through an
analysis of his theological writings, letters, and sermons. Introducing the
Augustinian Necessitas Caritatis (Duty of Love), it identifies the
non-negotiable elements of Christian civic identity and clarifies the
responsibilities of believers in pluralistic societies. With a focus on
Christian European identity, it also discusses the critical role of Augustinian
citizens in shaping the future of a truly pluralistic Europe. Written by Pawel
Marek Szymanowski, this study was researched and defended as his doctoral
dissertation at the Accademia Alfonsiana in Rome.
