Soliloquies is a work from Augustine's early life, shortly after
his conversion, in which are visible all the seeds contained in his
future writings. Here we see Augustine as a philosopher, a thinker
and a budding theologian.

There is no time like the present. Is it also true that there is no
time but the present? According to presentism, the present time is
special in the most fundamental sense because all of reality is
included in it. What is past is no longer; what is future is yet to
be. This philosophy of time, with roots as far back as Saint
Augustine and beyond, is the focus of vigorous and widespread
discussion in contemporary philosophy. Presentism: Essential
Readings brings together for the first time the seminal works by
both presentists and their opponents. Works by Augustine,
McTaggart, Prior, Craig and others, address a wide array of issues
concerning presentism. How can time pass if everything is present?
Is there no future to come to the present; nor a past to receive
the present? How can there be truths about the past? Generally a
statement is true because of events in reality. But if presentism
is correct, then the past would seem to lack a basis in reality. If
only the present is real, how can things last? To persist seems to
require that something exist at more than one time, but presentism
holds that there is only one time: the present. The collected
essays on presentism address these and other aspects of the debate
a debate that is just beginning. With explanatory introductions
written by the editors, Presentism: Essential Essays will fascinate
and stretch the minds of both scholars and novices alike.
Along with his Confessions, The City of God is undoubtedly St.
Augustine's most influential work. In the context of what begins as
a lengthy critique of classic Roman religion and a defence of
Christianity, Augustine touches upon numerous topics, including the
role of grace, the original state of humanity, the possibility of
waging a just war, the ideal form of government, and the nature of
heaven and hell. But his major concern is the difference between
the City of God and the City of Man - one built on love of God, the
other on love of self. One cannot but be moved and impressed by the
author's breadth of interest and penetrating intelligence. For all
those who are interested in the greatest classics of Christian
antiquity, The City of God is indispensible. This long-awaited
translation by William Babcock is published in two volumes, with an
introduction and annotation that make Augustine's monumental work
approachable.
Since the dawn of the fifth century, theology students, religious
scholars, and Christian readers have turned to this volume for
instruction. Written by one of the foremost leaders in the
development of Christian thought, it offers practical as well as
theoretical guidance on how to read the Bible and explain the
meaning of scripture. Augustine intended his treatise for the
priests in his North African diocese of Hippo, but ultimately, the
saint's counsel laid the groundwork for modern hermeneutics and
semiotics.
The first of "On Christian Doctrine"'s four parts begins with an
overview of the subjects treated in holy scripture. Subsequent
parts discuss signs and their recognition, the distinctions between
literal and figurative expressions, and the scriptures' stylistic
combination of eloquence and wisdom. Above all, Augustine's text
concerns itself with the ways in which individuals can live in
harmony with Jesus' teachings. Christians and non-Christians alike
value this work for its role in historical theology, its influence
on the development of Biblical interpretation, and its insights
into the mind of a great Christian philosopher and ecclesiastic.

A true catechism from which, throughout the history of the church,
other catechisms have drawn and learned including the recent
Catechism of the Catholic Church which quotes Augustine
extensively. Within the context of the three theological virtues,
faith, hope and love, Augustine masterfully covers the faith. He
first works his way through the creed and then the Lords prayer as
recorded by Matthew, ending with the sacraments.

Spirituality involves taking our personal experience seriously as

The Confessions is the landmark work in this exercise.
--Eugene Peterson, from his book Take and ReadWritten in the waning
days of the Roman era, Augustine's Confessions are the moving diary
of a soul's journey. From his earliest memories of childhood,
through his turbulent and licentious youth, to his resolute
conversion at the age of 32, Augustine traces a pilgrimage of
unbounded grace. Throughout, he passionately addresses the
spiritual questions that have engaged thoughtful minds since time
began.Every Christian library needs the classics--the timeless
