books by Saint Augustine     books:       On Christian Doctrine (The Library of Liberal Arts, No. 80)4 reviews Saint Augustine The Liberal Arts Press, 1958 Augustine's Hermeneutics One author has said that Augustine can be "easier to read than many modern books about him." Nowhere in his writings have I found this to be more true than "On Christian Doctrine." This little text was so compelling that I literally could not put it down (though that may reveal more about me than it). It essentially outlines Augustine's program of Hermeneutics which often contrasts strongly ...             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 ...             Confessions (Barnes & Noble Classics Series) (Barnes & Noble Classics)1 review Saint Augustine Barnes & Noble Classics, 2007 An Engaging Translation Garry Wills' translation of Saint Augustine's "Confessions" brings this work to life. 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 ...             Confessions, The (Works of Saint Augustine A Translation for the 21st Century)16 reviews Saint Augustine New City Press, 1996 A powerful read This is a profound book in so many ways; here are just a few. Augustine writes with a combination of confidence and humility that is not seen today. His confidence stems from faith in the God he clearly knows so well and his humility from a deep understanding of the sinfulness that dwells at the very core of his being. Worship is the purpose and attitude of the book; one can't help but be ...             St. Augustine Confessions (Oxford World's Classics)47 reviews Saint Augustine Oxford University Press, USA, 1998 Tolle, lege I've long since lost the religious fervor that led me to read Augustine's Confessions for the first time some 40 years ago. But I've never tired of re-reading it, which I do every five years or so. For in addition to being an exquisitely written prayer, it's also a penetrating analysis of the human psyche. In reading the Confessions, one is invited to reflect on what it means to be a human ...             The Trinity5 reviews Saint Augustine New City Press, 1991 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 ...             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 ...             Saint Augustine: Select Letters (Loeb Classical Library #239)2 reviews J.H. baxter Loeb Classical Library, 1930 Essential to Understanding the Mind and Soul of Bishop Augustine Besides the Confessions, Augustine's Epistles will tell us the most about the person of Augustine and of his theology as it concerns itself with the Pelagian heresy, the Donatist schism, and with the multiduous questions posed by his numerous correspondents. Unfortunately, the Loeb edition does not contain the complete corpus of his letters; but it does furnish a paralel Latin text, a lengthy ...             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 ...             The City of God38 reviews Saint Augustine Modern Library, 1977 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. ...             Sermons 306-340 (Works of Saint Augustine) Saint Augustine Of Hippo, John E. Rotelle New City Press, 1995 The reflections contained in A Season of Rebirth invite us to ponder our lives and to open our listening hearts to the voice of God so that our Lent can truly be a Lent in its deepest sense mdash; a spring that buds forth new life.             02. St. Augustine: The First Catechetical Instruction (Ancient Christian Writers) Saint Augustine of Hippo Paulist Press, 1978 Written about the year 405, this treatise is unique in that it embodies both a manual for the catechist and a catechesis for the prospective catechumen.             Responses to Miscellaneous Questions (Works of Saint Augustine A Translation for the 21st Century) Saint Augustine New City Press, 2008 This volume contains three of Augustine's works that show him responding to a large variety of questions posed by different persons. The Miscellany of EightyThree Questions was compiled over the course of several years and deals with philosophical, theological and exegetical matters that had been raised in the religious community that Augustine founded and headed. Some of these matters are handled very briefly, some at great length. Augustine's ...             Confessions of Augustine2 reviews Saint Augustine Hackett Publishing Company, 2007 Beautiful translation of a classic text Sheed's translation of this classic of Western and Christian culture is truly beautiful. He went beyond presenting an accurate translation; beyond a clear translation. He gave us a translation that is accurate, clear, and sonorous. The footnotes, introductions (one by famous Augustine scholar Peter Brown), and index make this a solid scholarly edition. This is a translation I will reread often.             Confessions of Saint Augustine: Revision of the Translation of Rev. 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 ...             The Confessions of Saint Augustine4 reviews CyberRead Publish, 2001 Take and read Augustine's 'Confessions' is among the most important books ever written. One of the first autobiographical works in the modern sense, it also represents the first time a psychological and theological enterprise were combined. It also helps to bridge the gap between the Classical world and the Medieval world, exhibiting strong elements identifying with each of those major historical periods. ...             Les confessions de Saint Augustin Aurèle, évêque d'Hippone: Text latin et français.
