Customer Reviews

One of the best introductions to the great Teacher

This book, along with the others in the series, is an excellent introductory text to understand St. Augustine and the world in which he lived, struggled, prayed and wrote. The text is lavished with photos, artwork and packed with good history and analysis. The pages are sturdy gloss and the covers are meant to be abused. This is an excellent pocket book and would make a great gift for anyone interested but not too knowledgeable on the subject. Total background information is provided for the novice. For the price and content you cannot go wrong with this book, or any of the series. Enjoy!
