books by Augustine of Hippo     books:       The Confessions of St. Augustine (Signet Classics)8 reviews Augustine of Hippo Signet Classics, 2001 Inspiring In reading the few reviews of people who did not like this book, it seems that it is the genre more than the book itself which they don't care for. Is this book redundant, as one reviewer accused it of being? Most assuredly so, but that should hardly be a surprise in a text such as this which explores the inklings of a powerful intellect that is attempting to grapple with the "big" ...             On Free Choice of the Will7 reviews Saint Augustine of Hippo, Thomas Williams Hackett Pub Co Inc, 1993 excellent text for considering the impact of Christianity on Platonism and vice-versa If you were looking for a significant and representative but introductory level medieval Christian philosophy text, you would be hard pressed to find one better than this. When I teach intro to philosophy, I often choose representative texts from the ancient, medieval, early Modern, and roughly contemporary periods. I start with Plato, either the Apology or the Meno or both. Then we read this ...             The Essential Augustine2 reviews Saint Augustine of Hippo Hackett Publishing Company, 1974 Fantastic introduction to Augustine's theology Bourke does a wonderful job summarizing Augustine's theology on a wide range of issues: God, the Trinity, the church, etc. It is organized by topic, with a short introduction to each topic. It draws on a much wider selection of his writings than most people will have read. The only drawback is due to the nature of Augustine's prose. Because he has a very particular manner of writting and ...             City of God (Penguin Classics)38 reviews Augustine of Hippo Penguin Classics, 2004 City of God This is an apologetic text in defence of the Chritian faith. In this book, Augustine persuasively informed his audience (readers) regarding the history of creation from the fall of humanity to their redemption provided they recognized him as God of their lives. This is possible only as they abandon all forms of idolatries lest they experience a catatrosphe similar to what led to the fall of Rome. ...             Fathers of the Church: Saint Augustine : The Retractions (Fathers of the Church) Saint, Bishop of Hippo Augustine Catholic University of America Press, 1999             The Confessions of Saint Augustine4 reviews St. Augustine of Hippo BookSurge Classics, 2002 Take and read Augustine's 'Confessions' is among the most important books ever written.

Wills has rendered Augustine's Latin into beautifully flowing contemporary English. It is commendable that he was able to do this while preserving the personal character of this saint's life story and demonstrating the complexity and depth of Augustine's thought. While reading this book, I often felt amazed ...             Hungering for God : Selected Writings of Augustine (Upper Room Spiritual Classics. Series I)1 review Saint, Bishop of Hippo Augustine Upper Room Books, 1997 Soulful Introduction to a Longing Soul Many thanks to the publisher for providing this very accessible introduction to the spiritual writings of Augustine of Hippo. The fourteen selections carry just enough of the flavor of this thinker to whet the reading desire of those who have shied away from Augustine and yet, the selections are fresh so that those familiar with Augustine's work (the Confessions, City of God) will also find ...             Confessions (Penguin Classics)24 reviews Saint Augustine of Hippo Penguin Classics, 1961 Worthwhile even for agnostics Before reading any St. Augustine, I had formed an image of him as an intolerant puritan, almost Taliban-esque. As an agnostic, I did not at all expect to find him a sympathetic figure. The "Confessions," however, reveal a warmly human, hugely intelligent man, relating his own open-minded spiritual journey, which included way-stops at Manicheeism and neo-Platonism. Augustine formulated his ...             Confessions: Books I-Xiii2 reviews Saint, Bishop of Hippo Augustine, F. J. Sheed, ... Hackett Pub Co Inc, 1993 The best translation of St. Augustine's Confessions Let me put it this way, and I quote another translator of this book, "You have not read 'Confessions' until you have read the Sheed translation."             The Confessions of Saint Augustine - Complete Thirteen Books Saint Augustine; Biship of Hippo Arc Manor, 2008 Please visit www.ArcManor.com for more books by this and other great authors.             Political Writings Saint, Bishop of Hippo Augustine, Michael W.

J.M. Lelen (Paraclete Living Library)12 reviews Saint, Bishop of Hippo Augustine, J. M. Leleu Catholic Book Publishing Company, 1997 Unique look into a brilliant mind The Confessions offer a deep look into St. Augustine's mind as he battles through questions about time and memory. It is, quite personally, an account of a once atheist who, through tragedy and an insatiable desire for truth, becomes spiritually connected to God. Augustine presents age old questions about existence and purpose, and provides his own unique and intelligent viewpoint. Augustine's ...             Confessions (Hendrickson Christian Classics)4 reviews Saint, Bishop of Hippo Augustine Hendrickson Publishers, 2004 Take and read!

It is a pleasure to listen to!             Late Have I Loved Thee: Selected Writings of Saint Augustine on Love Augustine of Hippo Vintage, 2006 Late Have I Loved Thee is the first collection of Saint Augustine's varied writings on human and divine love, chosen to reflect his lifelong preoccupation with ordo amoris , the principle of rightly directed love. "My weight is my love," he writes in The Confessions . He sees our ability to love as disordered by sin, so that we often choose badly what and how to love. Only by recognizing that we are commanded to love God first can any other ...             The Trinity (Fathers of the Church, 45)6 reviews Saint, Bishop of Hippo Augustine Catholic University of America Press, 2003 Perhaps Augustine's most difficult work Trinitarian theology is a difficult subject. Scriptural references are few and their meaning is not obvious - indeed, they can easily be read as contradictory. In fact, there is no explicit description of the Trinity in the scriptures at all - the orthodox view of the Trinity (three persons in one God) is an inferential conclusion from scripture that took generations to piece together. Having ...             02.
