25 Writings That Changed the Church: Augustine

By Jennifer Woodruff Tait

When we did our recent issue on 25 Writings That Changed the Church and the World, we only had space to recommend one book for each writing we discussed. Lots of you have written in giving us suggestions or saying that you'd like more guidance. With this post, I'm beginning a series that, every so often, will give you some further recommended books, websites, and other resources about each of our featured writings. And I'll start at the top with Augustine. Italicized items were also listed in issue 116.

Books:

Augustine, James O'Donnell

Augustine of Hippo: A Life, Henry Chadwick

Augustine and his Influence Through The Ages, Henri Marrou

Augustine of Hippo in the Classics of Western Spirituality series

Penguin Classics editions of City of God and Confessions
