Apostle from Africa, Augustine of Hippo
David Bentley-Taylor, Forward by John Piper
Born 700 years after Plato and dying 400 years after Jesus' crucifixion,
Augustine was outstanding amongst Christian thinkers. All around the
Mediterranean leading men hung on his words yet at times his errors were
deplorable, even horrifying. Yet Augustine grew out of this as the man who
has influenced the church more than any other extra-Biblical writer.

One of the most remarkable things about
Augustine's influence is the fact that it flows into radically opposing
religious movements. He is cherished as one of the fathers of the Roman Catholic
Church, and yet it was Augustine who gave us the Reformation?not only because
Luther was an Augustinian monk, or that Calvin quoted Augustine more than any
other theologian, but because the Reformation witnessed the ultimate triumph of
Augustine's doctrine of grace.
David Bentley Taylor has managed to give us a thorough
introduction to the man. |
