Have you ever wanted accessible introductions to key figures and
periods of Christian history? Augustine and His World Augustine is
one of the giants of the Christian church. From his birth in North
Africa and his days as a relatively permissive young man, through
his midlife conversion to Christianity and career as bishop of
Hippo, his story has intrigued and inspired every generation for
over 1,600 years. As a thinker, teacher, writer and debater,
Augustine's greatness lay in his ability to relate the philosophies
of Ancient Greece and Rome to the precepts of the Christian faith.
Augustine also saved the church itself from disintegrating into
rival factions by forging sound doctrine in the fires of
controversy. This immersive account of Augustine's life helps
readers understand the world he came from and the enormous
contribution he made to the church, both of his day and of the
future. Francis of Assisi and His World Francis of Assisi is one of
the world's most popular religious figures, and also one of the
most misrepresented. In this lively and engaging account of
Francis's story - from his hedonistic youth to his emergence as a
Christian leader of great charisma and intensity - Mark Galli
attempts to strip away the modern gloss in order to discover the
real man and the world in which he lived. The saint revealed here
is not the romantic free spirit of popular imagination, but a
contentious figure who combined a deep mysticism with radical
commitment and, above all, sought to glorify God, the creator.
