Produktbeschreibung

By telling the history of the errors when his youth and his conversion, St. Augustine has described that a soul away from God by the fury of the passions. This story is for Christians of all ages, the idea came from the charity, not for pride or the need for apology. The confessions of Augustine are useless to themselves, but they do not may be to the souls who, overwhelmed the weight of their sins, are tempted to despair. He wants to inspire the love of the goodness of God, make them taste the ineffable sweetness of His grace: even the righteous have fun learning the sins of sinners, not by malice, but because they are happy with the conversion and repentance. This is the substance and spirit of the Confessions of St. Augustine.

Autorenporträt

Saint Augustine of Hippo was born in 354 in North Africa and was deeply influenced by his mother, Monica, who was a devout Christian. He studied rhetoric in Carthage, where he led a hedonistic lifestyle and explored different philosophies, notably Manichaeism. His journey to Christianity was gradual, marked by intense self-reflection and eventual conversion in Milan under the influence of Saint Ambrose.After his baptism, Augustine returned to North Africa, where he became a priest and later the Bishop of Hippo. His writings, including The Confessions of Saint Augustine and The City of God, became foundational texts for Christian theology and Western philosophy. As bishop, he engaged in debates on doctrine and contributed significantly to developing doctrines like original sin and divine grace.Augustine's legacy is vast; his introspective approach shaped Christian thought and has had a lasting influence on Western philosophical and theological traditions. He is revered as one of the greatest Church Fathers and is celebrated for his insights into the human condition. His works remain widely read, offering profound reflections on faith, morality, and human purpose.
