However, potential buyers need to know that the reader for this particular recording is absolutely fantastic. I took the time to listen to other recordings before I decided which to buy, and this one is absolutely the best one. It is a pleasure to listen to!             Letters of Saint Augustine1 review Saint, Bishop of Hippo Augustine Triumph Books, 1992 Both Historical and yet Relevant Today Even though this book is out of print, if you research, read, and/or study Augustine and his thought, then you do not want to be without this text.

The table of contents is as follows: Introduction (Roland J.

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 ...             Fathers of the Church: Saint Augustine : Commentary on the Lord's Sermon on the Mount With Seventeen Related ...1 review Saint, Bishop of Hippo Augustine Catholic University of America Press, 1951 Interesting for style as well as content The table of contents is as follows: Introduction Commentary on the Lord's Sermon on the Mount Retractions: Book I: Chapter 19 Sermons: 53.

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."             Confessions (Hendrickson Christian Classics)4 reviews Saint, Bishop of Hippo Augustine Hendrickson Publishers, 2004 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. ...             Confessions of Saint Augustine8 reviews Saint, Bishop of Hippo Augustine Whitaker House, 1996 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" ...             THE CONFESSIONS16 reviews SAINT, BISHOP OF HIPPO AUGUSTINE, ROBIN LANE FOX (INTRODUCTION), PHILIP BURTON (TRANSLATOR) ITALO SVEVO EVERYMAN'S LIBRARY, 2001 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 ...             Enchiridion on Faith, Hope & Love2 reviews Saint, Bishop of Hippo Augustine Regnery Pub, 1961 Summary of much doctrine This is an excellent book, both for the text itself by Augustine and the introduction to it. Augustine wrote the Enchiridion as a response to a friend who wanted a "handbook" of Christian teaching. Though not as engaging as his Confessions, it is well worth reading. Augustine covers topics such as baptism, original sin, abortion, faith and works, and election and focuses much on the grace of ...             Confessions24 reviews Saint, Bishop of Hippo Augustine Hippocrene Books, 1987 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 of Saint Augustine47 reviews Saint, Bishop of Hippo Augustine Airmont Pub Co, 1982 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 ...             City of God (Everyman's Library)38 reviews Saint, Bishop of Hippo Augustine Everymans Library, 1973 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. ...             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 ...             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 ...             A Season for Rebirth1 review Marc Foley, Saint Augustine of Hippo NEW CITY PRESS, 2007 Fresh and Relevant Lenten Resource Referencing sources as diverse as St. Augustine, psychiatrist Robert Coles, and movie director Woody Allen, Fr. Foley invites us to "ponder our lives and to open our listening hearts to the voice of God."
