Book The Confessions  The Works of Saint Augustine

Download or read book The Confessions The Works of Saint Augustine written by St Augustine and published by . This book was released on 2020-10-24 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most valued books in Christian literature, St. Augustine of Hippo's Confessions are an intensely revealing picture of the saint's difficult search for the truth.In his own day the dominant personality of the Western Church, St Augustine relates his rare ascent from a humble Algerian farm to the edge of the corridors of power at the imperial court in Milan, his struggle against the domination of his sexual nature, his renunciation of secular ambition and marriage, and the recovery of the faith his mother Monica had taught him during his childhood.We witness the future saint's interest with astrology and with the Manichees, and then follow him through cynicism and disillusion with pagan myths until he finally reaches Christian faith. There are brilliant philosophical musings about Platonism and the nature of God, and touching portraits of Augustine's beloved mother, of St. Ambrose of Milan, and of other early Christians like Victorinus, who gave up a distinguished career as a rhetorician to adopt the orthodox faith. Augustine's concerns are often remarkably contemporary, yet his work contains many references and allusions that are easily understood only with background information about the ancient social and intellectual setting. The religious and philosophical value of The Confessions is unquestionable--now modern readers will have easier access to St. Augustine's deeply personal meditations. This lucid translation and helpful introduction clear the way for a new experience of this classic.

Book On Christian Doctrine

    Book Details:
  • Author : St. Augustine
  • Publisher : Courier Corporation
  • Release : 2012-04-04
  • ISBN : 0486121259
  • Pages : 194 pages

Download or read book On Christian Doctrine written by St. Augustine and published by Courier Corporation. This book was released on 2012-04-04 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Book Letters of Saint Augustin

Download or read book Letters of Saint Augustin written by Saint Augustine of Hippo and published by Aeterna Press. This book was released on with total page 1015 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I Would not presume, even in playful discussion, to attack the philosophers of the Academy; for when could the authority of such eminent men fail to move me, did I not believe their views to be widely different from those commonly ascribed to them? Instead of confuting them, which is beyond my power, I have rather imitated them to the best of my ability. For it seems to me to have been suitable enough to the times in which they flourished, that whatever issued pure from the fountainhead of Platonic philosophy should be rather conducted into dark and thorny thickets for the refreshment of a very few men, than left to flow in open meadow-land, where it would be impossible to keep it clear and pure from the inroads of the vulgar herd.

Book The Rule of Saint Augustine

Download or read book The Rule of Saint Augustine written by Augustine and published by Galilee Trade. This book was released on 1986-02-21 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The oldest monastic Rule in the West A giant of the faith, St. Augustine is well known as "the restless searcher for truth." His life and the Rule he formulated have had enduring influence on the Christian ideal of the religious life. This is a new, modern English translation of the Rule from the original critical Latin text. An extensive Commentary elucidates its meaning and its relevance to those who follow or study it today. Augustine's concise spiritual directions, based heavily on the Scriptures, cover such subjects as prayer, love and community, mutual responsibility, service, authority and obedience. He outlines the basics for exercising genuine love, the goal of all things -- indeed life itself. This brief but classic guide is as inspiring and applicable to the twentieth century as it was to Augustine's early followers. It clearly reflects his own vision and spiritual depth. As Van Bavel observes in his Introduction: "We could characterize the Rule of Augustine as a call to the evangelical equality of all people. It voices the Christian demand to bring all men and women into full community." The Rule of St. Augustine is, indeed, a Rule for all Christians -- religious and laity alike.
