On Christian Teaching (The AWorld's Classics)

About this book

The De Doctrina Christiana ("On Christian Teaching") is one of Augustines most important works on the classical tradition. Undertaken at the same time as the Confessions it sheds light on the development of Augustines thought especially in the areas of ethics hermeneutics and sign-theory. This completely new translation gives a close but updated representation of Augustines thought and expression while a succinct introduction and select bibliography present the insights of recent research.
