3 Augustinian liberalism can be traced to Robert Markus's influential Saeculum: History and Society in the Theology of St. Augustine, second edition (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1989). Others in this broad lineage, but departing from Markus's embrace of the vision of a neutral public sphere, include Mathewes, Charles, A Theology of Public Life (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2007)CrossRefGoogle Scholar; Gregory, Eric, Politics and the Order of Love: An Augustinian Ethic of Democratic Citizenship (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2008)Google Scholar; Bretherton, Luke, Christianity and Contemporary Politics (Oxford: Wiley-Blackwell, 2010)CrossRefGoogle Scholar. Perhaps the most prominent contemporary Augustinian antiliberal is John Milbank, as evinced in his Theology and Social Theory (Oxford: Blackwell, 1993).
