Saint Augustine: A Life
Garry Wills
Pulitzer Prize winner Garry Wills brings the same fresh scholarship, lively prose, and critical appreciation that characterize his well-known books on religion and American history to this outstanding biography of one of the most influential Christian philosophers.
Saint Augustine follows its subject from his youth in fourth-century Africa to his conversion and subsequent development as a theologian. It challenges the widely held misconceptions about Augustine?s sexual excesses and shows how, in embracing classical philosophy, Augustine managed to enlist ?pagan authors? in the defense of Christianity. The result is a biography that makes a spiritual ancestor feel like our contemporary.
