Una pasi�n tanto personal como acad�mica impregnan este aclamado retrato del obispo de Hipona, que hoy adquiere una nueva dimensi�n debido a su elecci�n como gu�a espiritual por parte de la nueva derecha internacional liderada por Donald Trump, y tras el nombramiento del primer papa de la Orden de San Agust�n, Le�n XIV, en la Iglesia cat�lica. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eENGLISH DESCRIPTION \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis classic biography was first published forty-five years ago and has since established itself as the standard account of \u003ci\u003eSaint Augustine\u003c\/i\u003e's life and teaching. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe remarkable discovery of a considerable number of letters and sermons by Augustine cast fresh light on the first and last decades of his experience as a bishop. These circumstantial texts have led \u003ci\u003ePeter Brown\u003c\/i\u003e to reconsider some of his judgments on Augustine, both as the \u003cb\u003eauthor of\u003c\/b\u003e Confessions and as the elderly bishop preaching and writing in the last years of Roman rule in north Africa. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBrown's reflections on the significance of these exciting new documents are contained in two chapters of a substantial Epilogue to his biography (the text of which is unaltered). He also reviews the changes in scholarship about Augustine since the 1960s. A personal as well as a scholarly fascination infuse the book-length epilogue and notes that Brown has added to his \u003cb\u003eacclaimed\u003c\/b\u003e portrait of the bishop of Hippo.","brand":"Taurus","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47773694853271,"sku":"9788430628322","price":2332.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9788430628322.webp?v=1777981012","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/agustin-de-hipona-augustine-of-hippo-9788430628322","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
