Overview
The aim of this work is to show how Augustine adapted a deeply Platonic outlook to the new world of Christianity, and how he constructed a vision in which Platonism and Christianity pointed in the same direction.

These include: divine and human love; marriage and sexuality; the lust for power; and God's providence and omnipotence.
