For the Joy Set Before Us: Augustine and Self-Denying Love

Gerald W. Schlabach

Examining how Augustine reconciled self-love and self-denial in a unified Christian love, this book demonstrates the crucial role that continence played in Augustine’s teaching, showing it to be more than an attitude toward sexuality; rather it is the operative mode of Augustininan caritas.
