Augustine and His World (Ivp Histories) - Softcover
Augustine is one of the giants of the Christian church. From his birth in North Africa and his days as a relatively permissive young man, through his midlife conversion to Christianity and career as bishop of Hippo, Augustine's story has intrigued and inspired every generation for more than 1,600 years. It is as a thinker, teacher, writer and debater that Augustine has exerted the most influence. His greatness lay in his ability to relate the philosophies of Ancient Greece and Rome to the precepts of the Christian faith. Augustine also saved the church itself from disintegrating into rival factions by forging sound doctrine in the fires of controversy. In Augustine and His World Andrew Knowles and Pachomios Penkett tell the story of Augustine's life. They help readers to understand the world he came from and the enormous contribution he made to the church both of his day and of the future.

About the Author:
Andrew Knowles, Canon Theologian at Chelmsford Cathedral, has written many books on Christianity and the Bible, including The Bible Guide, Finding Faith and Real-Life Christianity (all for Lion). Pachomios Penkett is completing his doctoral thesis on early medieval theology in the University of Reading. He was honoured by the Archbishop of Canterbury in 1997 for his research.
Review:
"Few overviews of Christian history can rival the IVP Histories' winning mix of summary and storytelling. Aimed at a general audience, these expertly written books contain much to delight and inform even this long-time student of Christian history. Their size makes them easy to begin reading, and their beautiful images and clear, colorful writing make them hard to put down. A treasure!"
