À propos de cet e-book

"Thus it is that love is not without hope, hope is not without love, and neither hope nor love are without faith." St. Augustine
St. Augustine’s Faith, Hope, and Love is a short, insightful treatise on the proper way to worship God. In thirty-three small chapters that follow 1 Corinthians 13, Augustine's description of true worship covers all the major ideas of the Christian religion. Written sometime after AD 420, less than a decade before he died, it contains some of his most mature reflections on Christian doctrines. Those looking to understand the proper way to worship and those interested in a brief encapsulation of Augustine’s teaching should look no further than this classic work. Presented in a special journal edition, Faith, Hope, and Love encourages readers to record their impressions and prayers. 

À propos de l'auteur

Aurelius Augustinus (354-430), better known as Saint Augustine, was born to poor parents, Patricius and Monica, in the small town of Tagaste in Numidia, North Africa. Despite his mother’s pious influence, Augustine embarked on several years of wild living when he began his education at the University of Carthage. During this time, he fathered a child and adopted the Manichean faith, a sect whose followers professed to have received from their founder a higher truth than from Christ. After years of seeking and eventual disillusionment with the Manichean ways, Augustine acknowledged Jesus as Lord during a dramatic garden conversion. He was baptized the following year and became an ascetic—studying the foundations of faith, writing (chiefly against his former sect), and conversing with a group of disciples, first at Rome and then in his native town. During a visit to Hippo near his hometown he entered the priesthood, and in 395 became Bishop of Hippo, an office he held until his death. He is known for his literary accomplishments, chiefly The City of God and The Confessions, as well as for his patient pastoral leadership in the Catholic Church.
