They include apologetic works against the heresies of the Arians, Donatists, Manichaeans and Pelagians; texts on Christian doctrine, notably '' De Doctrina Christiana'' (''On Christian Doctrine''); and exegetical works such as commentaries on Book of Genesis, the Psalms and Paul's Paul's walk in Elizabethan and early Stuart London was the name given to the central nave of Old St Paul's Cathedral, where people walked up and down in search of the latest news.

Saint Augustine Portrait
In religious belief, a saint is a person who is recognized as having an exceptional degree of holiness, likeness, or closeness to God. However, the use of the term ''saint'' depends on the context and denomination. In Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Anglican, Oriental Orthodox, and Lutheran doctrine, all of their faithful deceased in Heaven are considered to be saints, but some are considered worthy of greater honor or emulation. Official ecclesiastical recognition, and consequently a public cult of veneration, is conferred on some denominational saints through the process of canonization in the Catholic Church or glorification in the Eastern Orthodox Church after their approval. While the English word ''saint'' originated in Christianity, historians of religion tend to use the appellation "in a more general way to refer to the state of special holiness that many religions attribute to certain people", referring to the Jewish tzadik, the Islamic walī, the Hindu rishi or Sikh gur ...

On The Trinity
''On the Trinity'' ( la, De Trinitate) is a Latin book written by Augustine of Hippo to discuss the Trinity in context of the logos. Although not as well known as some of his other works, some scholars have seen it as his masterpiece, of more doctrinal importance even than '' Confessions'' or ''The City of God''. It is placed by him in his '' Retractationes'' among the works written (meaning begun) in AD 400. In letters of 410 and 414 and at the end of 415, it is referred to as still unfinished and unpublished. But a letter of 412 states that friends were at that time asking to complete and publish it, and the letter to Aurelius, which was sent with the treatise itself when actually completed, states that a portion of it, while still unrevised and incomplete, was in fact surreptitiously made public. It was still in hand in 416: in Book XIII, a quotation occurs from the 12th Book of the ''De Civitate Dei''; and another quotation in Book XV, from the 99th Tractate on John's Gospel. ...

On Nature And Grace
''On Nature and Grace'' () is an anti-Pelagian book by Augustine of Hippo written in AD 415. It is a response to Pelagius's 414 book ''On Nature'' (). Before this work, Augustine did not seem to see Pelagius as a heretic, but ''On Nature and Grace'' seems to be a turning point in the Pelagian controversy Pelagianism is a Christian theological position that holds that the original sin did not taint human nature and that humans by divine grace have free will to achieve human perfection. Pelagius ( – AD), an ascetic and philosopher from th .... The work does not mention Pelagius by name, but by responding to ''De natura'', Augustine for the first time engages Pelagius as an opponent.

City Of God (book)
''On the City of God Against the Pagans'' ( la, De civitate Dei contra paganos), often called ''The City of God'', is a book of Christian philosophy written in Latin by Augustine of Hippo in the early 5th century AD. The book was in response to allegations that Christianity brought about the decline of Rome and is considered one of Augustine's most important works, standing alongside '' The Confessions'', '' The Enchiridion'', '' On Christian Doctrine'', and ''On the Trinity''. As a work of one of the most influential Church Fathers, ''The City of God'' is a cornerstone of Western thought, expounding on many questions of theology, such as the suffering of the righteous, the existence of evil, the conflict between free will and divine omniscience, and the doctrine of original sin. Background The sack of Rome by the Visigoths in 410 left Romans in a deep state of shock, and many Romans saw it as punishment for abandoning traditional Roman religion in favor of Christianity. ...

The Literal Meaning Of Genesis
''The'' () is a grammatical article in English, denoting persons or things that are already or about to be mentioned, under discussion, implied or otherwise presumed familiar to listeners, readers, or speakers. It is the definite article in English. ''The'' is the most frequently used word in the English language; studies and analyses of texts have found it to account for seven percent of all printed English-language words. It is derived from gendered articles in Old English which combined in Middle English and now has a single form used with nouns of any gender. The word can be used with both singular and plural nouns, and with a noun that starts with any letter. This is different from many other languages, which have different forms of the definite article for different genders or numbers. Pronunciation In most dialects, "the" is pronounced as (with the voiced dental fricative followed by a schwa) when followed by a consonant sound, and as (homophone of the archaic ...

Harmony Of The Gospels (Augustine)
The ''Harmony of the Gospels'' ( la, De consensu evangelistarum; ) is a book by the Christian philosopher Augustine of Hippo. It was written around 400 AD, while Augustine was also writing ''On the Trinity''. In the book, Augustine examines the four canonical Gospels to show that none of them contradicts any of the others. The book had a major influence in the West on the understanding of the relationships between the four Gospels. Synopsis The ''Harmony of the Gospels'' is divided into four books. The first book is an extended argument against pagans who claim that Jesus was nothing more than a wise man, and claim that the writers of the Gospels changed his teachings, especially regarding his divinity and the prohibition of worshiping other gods. Though Augustine's exact opponents are unknown, he may have had the Manicheans in mind. He also specifically refers to the Neoplatonic philosopher Porphyry, author of the treatise ''Against the Christians'', in connection with these ...

Soliloquies Of Augustine
The ''Soliloquies of Augustine'' is a two-book document written in 386–387 AD by the Christian theologian Augustine of Hippo. The book has the form of an "inner dialogue" in which questions are posed, discussions take place and answers are provided, leading to self-knowledge. The first book begins with an inner dialogue which seeks to know a soul. In the second book it becomes clear that the soul Augustine wants to get to know is his own.''The Cambridge companion to Augustine'' by Eleonore Stump, Norman Kretzmann 2001 page 76 A translation of the first half of the ''Soliloquies'' into Old English is attributed to Alfred the Great, where it is known as the ''Blostman'' ('bloom') or ''Anthology''.
