| description | Written between 408 and 409 A.D. in the effervescence of strong pagan resistance to the accelerated Christianization of the Roman society, the correspondence between Augustine of Hippo and Nectarius of Calama is a concentrate of Neoplatonic issues that revolve around the forms and meanings of belonging to the earthly City, of the justice, and the happiness. Added to this is a theological type of debate around the meanings of the celestial City, God, and forgiveness. Through these four letters which enable to a bishop and a well-educated wise man to communicate, we can get closer to the mentality of the African pagan and Christian elites of the Later Roman Empire. |
