Description
A comprehensive and authoritative biography of one of Christianity's most influential figures, Augustine of Hippo. First published in 1967, this book has established itself as the standard account of Saint Augustine's life and teaching.
Recent discoveries of letters and sermons by Augustine have shed new light on his later years as a bishop, prompting Peter Brown to re-examine some of his earlier assessments. The author reflects on these findings in an expanded epilogue, which also reviews changes in scholarship about Augustine since the 1960s.
This biography offers a nuanced and engaging portrait of Augustine, with new insights into his life and legacy. With its substantial epilogue and notes, this book provides a detailed and authoritative exploration of one of history's most significant figures.
