The letters of Saint Augustine are an invaluable source of
information in the areas of church history, liturgy, spirituality,
theology, civil history, etc. The correspondence of Augustine
includes 308 letters: 252 that he wrote himself, 49 that others
sent him, and 7 letters that others sent to a third party (29
additional letters were added by Professor Divjak in 1981). Some
can actually be classified as books as Augustine notes in his
Revisions. Each letter is preceded by its own introduction in which
the translator offers valuable information about the persons,
content, and background pertinent to the letter. Perhaps the most
revealing aspect of the letters is not so much the great variety of
themes and persons, but the personality of Augustine himself that
emerges. The reader comes to know a very human and affectionate
Augustine, especially in his writings to Nebridius and other
friends. We see Augustine the reconciler, the man of justice and
mercy, the healer. While he is steadfast in his many ideas and
opinions, he also shows flexibility and a penchant for
listening.Certainly, from these letters the reader will learn much
about history and church history of that era and will gain insights
into church teaching, law, and liturgy. Without a doubt one will
encounter and be fascinated by the multifaceted Augustine. Volume 3
contains Letters 156 to 210.
