Saint Augustine
Garry Wills examines this famed fourth-century bishop and seminal thinker whose grounding in classical philosophy informed his influential interpretation of the Christian doctrines of mind and body, wisdom and God. Saint Augustine explores both the great ruminator on the human condition and the everyday man who set pen to parchment. It challenges many misconceptions - among them the myth of Augustine's early sexual excesses. An ideal pairing of author and subject, this masterly biography makes a spiritual ancestor feel like our vital contemporary.
