Publisher's Synopsis
The Anti-Manichaean Writings of St. Augustine is a collection of writings by Saint Augustine, one of the most influential theologians in the history of Christianity. The book contains a series of works in which Augustine refutes the teachings of the Manichaeans, a religious sect that believed in the existence of two opposing forces, one good and one evil, in the universe. In these writings, Augustine argues that the Manichaean belief system is flawed and incompatible with Christian doctrine. He presents a detailed critique of their beliefs, pointing out inconsistencies and contradictions in their theology. Augustine also discusses the nature of evil, the role of free will, and the importance of faith in God.The book is divided into several sections, each focusing on a different aspect of the Manichaean belief system. It includes Augustine's famous work, Confessions, in which he describes his own spiritual journey and how he came to reject Manichaeanism in favor of Christianity.Overall, The Anti-Manichaean Writings of St. Augustine is a valuable resource for scholars and students of theology, as well as anyone interested in the history of Christianity and the development of religious thought in the early centuries of the faith.THIS 370 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: St. Augustin the Writings Against the Manicheans and Against the Donatists: Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers of the Christian Church V4, by Saint Augustin .
