Saint Augustine of Hippo
Author: Miles Hollingworth
Publisher: A&C Black
ISBN: 1441152288
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 333
Book Description
Here is an outstanding new intellectual biography of Augustine of Hippo. Augustine was one of the West's first public philosophers. Intellectually brilliant and a gifted writer, he is known primarily as one of the great figures of Christian late antiquity. In this new biography we encounter him through the complexities of his remarkable personality. Miles Hollingworth demonstrates that it was as a personality that he turned against his Age to explore the shocking relevance of one life to God and history. His autobiography, the Confessions, is held up by many today as the first truly modern book. Saint Augustine of Hippo is written at once for scholars and students but also for the huge number of intelligent lay readers for whom Augustine is a towering figure in the history of Western civilisation.

The Spirit of Augustine's Early Theology
Author: Chad Tyler Gerber
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317014898
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 234
Book Description
St Augustine's pneumatology remains one of his most distinctive, decisive, and ultimately divisive contributions to the story of Christian thought. How did his understanding of the Spirit develop? Why does he identity the Spirit with divine love and cosmic order? And from what personal and literary sources did he receive inspiration? This examination of Augustine's pneumatology - the first book-length study of this important topic available - seeks answers in Augustine's earliest extant writings, penned during the years surrounding his famed return to the Catholic Church and the height of his efforts to synthesize Catholic theology and the Platonic philosophy of his day which had postulated a divine 'trinity' of its own. Careful analysis of these initial texts casts fresh light upon Augustine's more mature and well-known theology of the Holy Spirit while also illuminating on-going discussions about his early thought such as the nature and extent of his Platonic sympathies and the possibility that the recent convert remained committed to the divinity of the human soul.

Evil and the Augustinian Tradition
Author: Charles T. Mathewes
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1139430858
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 285
Book Description
This explores the 'family biography' of the Augustinian tradition by looking at Augustine's work and its development in the writings of Hannah Arendt and Reinhold Niebuhr. Mathewes argues that the Augustinian tradition offers us a powerful, though commonly misconstrued, proposal for understanding and responding to evil's challenges. The book casts light on Augustine, Niebuhr and Arendt, as well as on the problem of evil, the nature of tradition, and the role of theological and ethical discourse in contemporary thought.
