Confessions and Spiritual Writings
Augustine wrote the Confessions around 397, telling the story of his restless youth in Carthage and his conversion in Milan. Here you'll find two English translations, the Latin original and the Soliloquies, his inner dialogue with Reason.
The City of God and Doctrinal Works
When the Goths sacked Rome in 410, Augustine answered the pagans with The City of God, his contrast between the earthly city and the city of God. Next to it are On the Trinity, On Christian Doctrine and the Enchiridion, a short handbook on faith, hope and love.
Writings Against Pelagius, the Manichaeans and the Donatists
Augustine's ideas on grace, free will and original sin took shape in debate with the Manichaeans, the Donatists and the monk Pelagius. These volumes collect those treatises, which later fed the debates of Luther and Calvin.
Sermons, Letters and Biblical Commentaries
As bishop of Hippo, Augustine preached almost every week for more than thirty years, from the Gospel of John to all 150 Psalms. The section closes with his letters, including his exchanges with Jerome.
Augustine died in 430 while the Vandals besieged Hippo, but his library survived. Sixteen centuries later, readers still find themselves in the Confessions.
