Augustine: A Very Short Introduction

By his writings, the surviving bulk of which exceeds that of any other ancient author, Augustine came to influence not only his contemporaries but also the West since his time. This Very Short Introduction traces the development of Augustine's thought, discussing his reaction to the thinkersbefore him, and themes such as freedom, creation, and the trinity.

Henry Chadwick is Regius Professor Emeritus of Divinity at the University of Cambridge.
