Letter to the Romans; along with many sermons and letters. Apart from those, Augustine is probably best known for his ''Confessions'', which is a personal account of his earlier life, and for ''De civitate dei'' ('' The City of God'', consisting of 22 books), which he wrote to restore the confidence of his fellow Christians, which was badly shaken by the sack of Rome by the Visigoths in 410. His '' On the Trinity'', in which he developed what has become known as the 'psychological analogy' of the Trinity, is also among his masterpieces. He also wrote ''On Free Choice Of The Will'' ('' De libero arbitrio''), addressing why God gives humans free will that can be used for evil. At the end of his life (c. 426–427) Augustine revisited his previous works in chronological order in the '' Retractationes''. The title of this work is often translated into English as ''Retractions'', which has led some to assume that at the end of his career, Augustine retreated from his earlier theological positions. In fact, the Latin title literally means "re-treatments" and though in this work Augustine suggested what he would have said differently, it provides little in the way of actual "retraction." It does, however, give the reader a rare picture of the development of a writer and his final thoughts.

Works

The chronology of Augustine's work is in many cases uncertain, and scholarly estimates of dates may differ.
