요약 : Divided into five sections, this research opens with a working description of feminist eschatological thought and examines the foundations prescribed by Rosemary Radford Ruether, Sallie McFague and Elizabeth Johnson in order to provide a backdrop for reading Augustine's text. Chapter 2 surveys the core positions of three eminent Augustinian scholars---John Neville Figgis, Robert A. Markus and Robert Dodaro---whose perspectives underscore Augustine's estimation of life, his evaluation of the social perimeters of human existence, and his perception of justice. Building upon these foundations, it is intrinsic to my argument to examine the ways in which Augustine subverts social norms, takes measure of woman, and establishes hope. This discourse takes shape in Chapter 3. In Chapter 4, I evaluate classical eschatological issues from Augustine's repertoire---predestination, hell, heaven, and the resurrection of the body---and question the applicability of Augustine's hell-bound or heaven-directed futurity to feminist eschatology. The final chapter places Augustine and McFague in dialogue. She offers one of the most compatible reserves for acquiring more insight into Augustine's eschatological consciousness and subversive wisdom through a shared appreciation of metaphoric language, incarnational Christology, creation theology, and a vision of transformation and hope by re-centering all being in God.
초록/해제  
요약 : For centuries, scholars have mined the pages of Augustine of Hippo's magnum opus, the City of God, for all manner of theoretical concepts and doctrines ranging from political and just war theories to salvation history and sin. To date, this well-excavated text has not been quarried with a feminist eschatological lens. Despite the sexist legacy attributed to Augustine, this study asks: Do women have a stake in the City of God? If so, to what extent? The recurring theme that runs through Augustine's text speaks to two orders of human society: civitas dei and civitas terrena, the city of God and the earthly city. These orders, identified by their God-directed or self-directed loves, create a powerful tension between the iniquities of life and human potential. Eschatological love and the politics of heaven take shape within this tension. The aim of this investigation has been to break ground in a new direction by examining the ways in which feminist eschatology can utilize or benefit from Augustine's eschatological enterprise.
