Enchiridion - Hardcover

Augustine, Saint: - Saint Augustine of Hippo (354-430) was a North African bishop, theologian, philosopher, preacher, and one of the most influential figures in the history of Christianity. Born in Thagaste in Roman North Africa, he studied rhetoric, taught in Carthage, Rome, and Milan, and passed through Manichaean, sceptical, and Neoplatonic influences before his conversion to Christianity. As bishop of Hippo Regius, he became a major defender and interpreter of Christian doctrine during a period of theological controversy, imperial change, and deep cultural transition.Augustine's writings shaped Western Christian thought on grace, sin, free will, memory, time, love, the church, salvation, and the relation between faith and reason. His major works include Confessions, The City of God, On Christian Doctrine, On the Trinity, and the shorter theological summary known as the Enchiridion. His influence extends across Catholic, Orthodox, Protestant, philosophical, and literary traditions, making him central to readers of patristic literature, Christian theology, church history, moral philosophy, and the intellectual history of the West.
