Teaching Christianity is the most original book Augustine ever wrote. It is not so much a treatise or scholarly work but an instruction manual on how to teach Christianity. He wrote this \"how to\" book for those who would be preaching and explaining Christianity. It is entirely based on the bible and helps the reader express its truths of faith with soundproof methodology. It is a book that will help readers to communicate their message in a clear and effective way.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \"In this work, traditionally translated as \u003cem\u003eOn Christian Doctrine\u003c\/em\u003e, Augustine combines the pedagogical methods he learned from Greek and Roman writings with the content of the Christian faith to help preachers present biblical teachings in an effective manner.
