The restless heart and searching mind of this influential early
church father can offer spiritual and intellectual companionship
for your spiritual journey.
Augustine of Hippo (354 430), theologian, priest, and bishop, is
one of the most important figures in the development of Western
Christianity. He is known as much for his long interior struggle
that ended with conversion and baptism at age thirty-two as for his
influential teachings on human will, original sin and the theology
of just war. Cherished as a model for the pursuit of a life of
spiritual grace and criticized for his theory of predestination,
Augustine is recognized as a living expression of the passion to
understand and communicate the deeper meanings of human
experience.
With fresh translations drawn from Augustine's voluminous
writings and probing facing-page commentary, Augustinian scholar
Joseph T. Kelley, PhD, provides insight into the mind and heart of
this foundational Christian figure. Kelley illustrates how
Augustine s keen intellect, rhetorical skill and passionate faith
reshaped the theological language and dogmatic debates of early
Christianity. He explores the stormy religious arguments and
political upheavals of the fifth century, Augustine s controversial
teachings on predestination, sexuality and marriage, and the deep
undercurrents of Augustine s spiritual quest that still inspire
Christians today."
