Synopsis
World-renown author, Fr. Benedict J. Groeschel, shows how Augustine's influential work is just as relevant today as it was 1,600 years ago. A charming and accessible approach to the master, Augustine combines a variety of translations with Groeschel's own reflections and insight.

From the Back Cover
A preeminent father of the Church, Augustine's towering intellect molded the thought of Western Christianity for a thousand years after his death. He wrote profusely, and among his many works considered here are three spiritual classics; The Confessions, City of God, and The Trinity. Here the reader meets Augustine the convert, the philosopher and psychologist, the preacher and Scripture scholar, the historian and theologian. Benedict Groeschel distills Augustine's many writings and presents the essence of the ideas within. Further he places the man and his writings in historical perspective. Augustine's corpus of writings continues to be of major importance in theology and philosophy, and an indispensible aid in understanding the early development of Christianity.
From Booklist
Groeschel's charming little introduction to St. Augustine as a spiritual writer is something like a portable tutorial, full of helpful hints and suggestions for further reading as well as insights that are accessible without being condescending. The author approaches his subject with Franciscan humility and humor that is most appropriate for an introduction. The tone is conversational, integrating selections from a wide range of Augustine's work and a healthy sampling of the great variety of available translations with Groeschel's own reflections. The book ends, appropriately, with a reading program instead of a bibliography; it is likely also to end with readers inspired to pursue it. Steve Schroeder
