Full Description:
For centuries, Augustine's writings have moved and fascinated readers. With the fresh, keen eye of a writer whose own intellectual analysis has won him a Puliter Price, Gary Wills examines this famed forth-century bishop and siminal thinker whose grounding in classical philosophy informed his influential interprtation of the Christian doctrines of mind and body, wisdom and God. Saint Augustine explores both the great ruminator on the human condition and the everyday man who set pen to parchment. It challenges many misconceptions, among them the myth of his early sexual excesses. A masterly example of biography in the short form. |
