More than seventy years after his untimely death, this collection of essays and lectures provides the first appearance of Charles Norris Cochranes follow-up to his seminal work, Christianity and Classical Culture. Augustine and the Problem of Power provides an accessible entrance into the vast sweep of Cochranes thought through his topical essays and lectures on Augustine, Roman history and literature, Niccolò Machiavelli, and Edward Gibbon. These shorter writings demonstrate the impressive breadth of Cochranes mastery of Greek, Roman, and early Christian thought. Here he develops the political implications of Christianitys new concepts of sin and grace that transformed late antiquity, set the stage for the medieval world that followed, and faced the reactions of the Renaissance and Enlightenment. Cochrane analyzes the revival of classical thought that animated Machiavellis politics as well as Gibbons historiography. Written amid the chaos and confusion of depression and world war in the twentieth century, Cochranes writings addressed the roots of problems of his own distracted age and are just as relevant today for the distractions of our own age.
