Synopsis:

For centuries, Augustine's writings have moved and fascinated readers. With the fresh, keen eye of a writer whose own intellectual analysis has won him a Pulitzer Prize, Garry Wills examines this famed fourth century bishop and seminal thinker whose grounding in classical philosophy informed his influential interpretation of the Christian doctrines of mind and body, wisdom and God.
SAINT ANGUSTINE explores both the great ruminator on the human condition and the everyday man who set pen to parchment. It challenges many misconceptions among them the myth of his early sexual excesses. A masterly example of biography in the short form, Garry Wills's SAINT AUGUSTINE illuminates both the man and the age with the eloquent economy that will introduce to a new generation of readers this once popular genre.


Review:

"[Wills's] account of Augustine's search for a faith and a philosophy engages our sympathy."

New Yorker, 07/26/1999

Review:

"Garry Wills's agile mind matches the agility of St. Augustine. His Augustine we would like to meet."

John T. Noonan, New York Times Book Review, 07/25/1999
