Confessions and Enchiridion

Augustine

Edmund Hill

"A splendid translation, made from a trustworthy Latin text, of what is for some of us the foundation work of Christian theology. He has fitted out his translation, clearly the best of the four that have been made into English, with notes that go well beyond the perfunctory and a 38-page introduction that is a delight to read."--Journal of Religion and Health, Barry Ulanov.

The Trinity

"St. Augustine of Hippo's Confessions is an authobiographical work that focuses on the author's converstion to Christianity. For Augustine, 'confessions' means not only confessing one's sins of omission and commission but also proclaiming one's faith. It is a foundational work in Roman Catholic belief and earned its author recognition as a Doctor of the Church and an Ecumenical Father" -- Book jacket.

(De Civitate Dei)

The City of God

This edition of St. Augustine's The City of God (De Civitate Dei) is the only one in English to provide a text and translation as well as a detailed commentary of this most influential document in the history of western Christianity. In these books, written in the aftermath of the sack of Rome in AD 410 by the Goths, Augustine replies to the pagans, who attributed the fall of Rome to the Christian religion and its prohibition of the worship of the pagan gods. Books VI and VII focus on the figure of Terentius Varro, a man revered by Augustine's pagan contemporaries.

City of God

No book except the Bible itself had a greater influence on the Middle Ages than Augustine's The City of God. And since medieval Europe was the cradle of modern Western society, this work is vital for understanding our world and how it came into being. Copyright © Libri GmbH. All rights reserved.
