This is a student's guide to the life and work of Augustine; a notoriously challenging thinker, widely read in Philosophy and Christian Theology. The book provides a concise and coherent overview of Augustine, introducing all the key concepts and themes, and is ideal for undergraduates who require more than just a simple introduction to his work and thought.

Recensioner i media

"Writing for the "perplexed", whether they be philosopher or theologian, secular or religious, Wetzel makes Augustine our guide by helping us see how his passion for God is compatible with, indeed requires, knowing how to go on when you don't know where you are. Not only does Wetzel help us understand Augustine, but he helps us understand our inability to understand ourselves. Only someone who has learned from Augustine how to live without protection could have written such a beautiful book." - Stanley Hauerwas, Duke Divinity School, USA
