The Confessions of Saint Augustine

By Augustine of Hippo & E.B. Pusey &
The Confessions of Saint Augustine by Augustine of Hippo & E.B. Pusey &  digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

In The Confessions of Saint Augustine (c. 400 CE), Saint Augustine reveals in brutally honest details the agonizing process of maturation from a worldly and sinful young man to the great advocate for Christianity and virtue he would become.

Saint Augustine of Hippo is now remembered as one of the great Christian philosophers of history, with his many works contributing significantly to concepts like theological anthropology, eschatology, and original sin. He was not, however, always such a pious and introspective man. Moving beyond his personal faults, Augustine also delves into what he sees as the central pitfalls of the Christian doctrine of his time, especially the reliance on institutional guidance over introspective reflection.

About Augustine of Hippo

Augustine of Hippo (354-430) was a theologian and philosopher whose writing changed the course of medieval thought. Known as one of the theological fathers of the Protestant Reformation, his teachings on subjects like salvation, divine grace, and free will have earned him the recognition of sainthood in the Catholic Church, the Eastern Orthodox Church, the Lutheran churches, and the Anglican Communion. Augustine is also known in various places around the world as the patron saint of brewers, printers, and theologians.
