Publisher Description:

Includes New Translations of True Religion, The Advantage of Believing, Faith and Creed, Faith in the Unseen, Demonic Divination, Faith and Works, Enchiridion on Faith, Hope and Charity.

The seven works of Saint Augustine that are contained in this volume all deal with the problem of faith in God. They were written over the course of three decades, beginning with True Religion (390) and extending to the Enchiridion on Faith, Hope and Charity (c.421). Hence this selection of writings provides an impressive insight into the intellectual and spiritual development of one of the greatest of all Western minds, as it grappled with a question that has never ceased to preoccupy and stimulate Western thought: Is it reasonable to believe in God, and what form might such belief take?
