Books by Augustine of Hippo (Author of Confessions)
The quality of the translation and editing is excellent. I have yet to find a single OCR error which is delightfully refreshing; there's only a rare word now and then with an extra space in it. The content is surprisingly easy to understand and uncannily applicable to today's culture and time. As the moral decay of America accelerates, our society is becoming more and more like that of the ancient Roman world and Augustine's comments are becoming more, not less, applicable.
Augustine addresses perennial questions such as why God lets good people suffer and why God allows non-Christian governments to rise to power. Augustine speaks into a world of moral decay and hostility to Christianity with refreshing, unapologetic candor and brilliance.

He is an intelligent and amazingly well-read apologist for the Christian faith. I am so grateful to the editors and translators for making this timeless trove of wisdom available to us practically free. I am also learning a lot about the culture and times of Augustine "for free" since it's embedded in his discussions.
Sometimes shocking, always interesting, this is NOT the Roman history you learn in k education.
Augustine also has a fascinating perspective on the philosophical giants of the past e. Also quite different from the secular, post modern interpretation usually taught today. The format is easy to read with most chapters being less than 2 pages. The size of the document does make my Kindle run a bit slow though, particularly when underlining and taking notes. I'm curious if the Kindle Fire or other more powerful tablets have a similar issue. I haven't finished City of God yet, but I've already gotten my money's worth out of this purchase.
I Can't wait to finish it. This is not quite complete, but does contain his major works. The Kindle format is difficult to navigate.

The translation appears to be good. I would recommend this if you are not a Latin scholar and need to reference Augustine's theology. This is not, at all, the "Complete Works of Saint Augustine. Not only is the title misleading, the format is terrible.

About Augustine of Hippo. Austin, was bishop of Hippo Regius present-day Annaba, Algeria. He was a Latin philosopher and theologian from the Africa Province of the Roman Empire and is generally considered as one of the greatest Christian thinkers of all times. His writings were very influential in the development of Western Christianity. According to his contemporary Jerome, Augustine "established anew the ancient Faith.
After his conversion to Christianity and his baptism in , Augustine developed his own approach to philosophy and theology, accommodating a variety of methods and different perspectives. He believed that the grace of Christ was indispensable to human freedom, and he framed the concepts of original sin and just war.
When the Western Roman Empire was starting to disintegrate, Augustine developed the concept of the Catholic Church as a spiritual City of God in a book of the same name , distinct from the material Earthly City. His thoughts profoundly influenced the medieval worldview. Augustine's City of God was closely identified with the Church, the community that worshiped the Trinity. Many Protestants, especially Calvinists, consider him to be one of the theological fathers of the Protestant Reformation due to his teaching on salvation and divine grace.
