Augustine Major Writings

The writings of St. Augustine have held a revered place in both Catholic and Protestant teachings for centuries. Now, the world-renowned author, Benedict Groeschel, shows how Augustine's life and thought are as important to the world today as they were 1,600 years ago.

A preeminent Father of the Church, Augustine's towering intellect molded the thought of Western Christianity for a thousand years after his death. He wrote profusely, and among his many works considered here are three spiritual classics: The Confessions, City of God, and The Trinity. Here the reader meets Augustine the convert, the philosopher and psychologist, the preacher and the Scripture scholar, the historian and theologian. Benedict Groseschel distills Augustine's many writings and presents the essence of the ideas within. Further he places the man and his writings in historical perspective.

Augustine's writings continue to be of major importance in theology and philosophy, and an indispensable aid in understanding the early development of Christianity.
