Abstract
The object of the article is Eric Voegelin’s interpretation of Augustine’s idea of history. The analysis covers the period from the first volume of the History of Political Ideas. Hellenism, Rome and Early Christianity, to the New Science of Politics. I examine the theses of the authors Voegelin refers to in the works of Alois Dempf, Eric Peterson, Jakob Taubes, and Karl Löwith. In the course of the analysis, some central aspects of Voegelin’s thought such as political theology, representation and the philosophy of history are raised.
