Publisher's Synopsis
The Anti-Manichaean Writings of St. Augustine is a collection of writings by Saint Augustine, a prominent theologian and philosopher of the early Christian Church. The book is a compilation of Augustine's works that were written in response to the teachings of the Manichaean religion, which Augustine had previously been a member of before converting to Christianity.The Manichaean religion was a dualistic faith that believed in the existence of two opposing forces in the universe: good and evil. Augustine's writings in this book aim to refute the teachings of the Manichaean religion and defend the orthodox Christian view of the nature of God, the universe, and humanity.The book includes Augustine's most significant works on the topic, including Contra Faustum Manichaeum, De Natura Boni, and De Utilitate Credendi. These works cover a range of topics, including the nature of God, free will, the problem of evil, and the relationship between faith and reason.The Anti-Manichaean Writings of St. Augustine is an essential read for anyone interested in the history of Christianity, the development of Christian theology, and the intellectual debates of the early Christian Church. It provides a valuable insight into Augustine's thought and his defense of the Christian faith against competing religious beliefs.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 .
