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.

Aurelius Augustinus, aka SAINT AUGUSTINE (354-430) was bishop of
Hippo, today called Bona, in Algeria. Before his conversion to
Christianity, however, he lead a wild and licentious youth in
Carthage and later studied philosophy for years in Milan. His
Confessions, in which he begs forgiveness from God for his sins and
sets himself entirely to devotion to God, is not only a
foundational work of Western theology, it is also one of the
earliest autobiographies, offering keen insight into the workings
of the medieval mind. ALSO AVAILABLE FROM COSIMO CLASSICS: Saint
Augustine's "The City of God" Translator and British clergyman
EDWARD BOUVERIE PUSEY (1800-1882) was one of the most influential
figures in the Anglican church in the 19th century, formulated
theology and doctrine that radically altered the practice of
Christianity in England.
De bono coniugali and De sancta virginitate were written in the same year (AD 401). In them Augustine rebuffs the Manichees, who argued that marriage was evil, and the followers of Jovinian, who argued that the married state was as meritorious as that of virginity. The first work analyses why marriage is good, and the second why virginity is a higher good. Both are closely related to present-day controversies amongst theologians and social historians. This edition includes the Latin text, a new translation, an introduction, and explanatory notes.
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.

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.
