Uno di una nuova importante serie di classici, libri che hanno cambiato la storia del pensiero, in sontuosi libri rilegati in tela. Figlio di un padre pagano e di una madre cristiana, sant'agostino ha trascorso i suoi primi anni dilaniato tra fedi e visioni del mondo contrastanti. Le sue confessioni, scritte quando aveva quarant'anni, raccontano come, lentamente e dolorosamente, si sia allontanato dalle sue idee giovanili e dal suo stile di vita licenzioso, per diventare invece un convinto sostenitore del cristianesimo e uno dei suoi pensatori più influenti. Un'autobiografia spirituale straordinariamente onesta e rivelatrice, le confessioni affrontano anche questioni fondamentali della dottrina cristiana e molte delle preghiere e meditazioni che include sono ancora parte integrante della pratica del cristianesimo odierno.

St Augustine of Hippo, the great Doctor of the Latin Church, was born at Thagaste in North Africa, in 354 CE. He was brought up as a Christian but he was soon converted to the Manichean religion. He also came under the influence of Neoplatonism. However, in 387 he renounced all his unorthodox beliefs and was baptised into Christianity. His surviving works have profoundly influenced Christian theology and the psychology and political theology of the West.
R. S. Pine-Coffin was born in 1917. He was educated at Ampleforth and Peterhouse, Cambridge. He died in 1992.
Helps you address fundamental issues of Christian doctrine, and many of the prayers and meditations it includes are still an integral part of the practice of Christianity.
