"The surviving bulk of Augustine's writings exceeds that of any other ancient author. Through these writings he came to influence not only his contemporaries but also the subsequent development of Western culture. This Very Short Introduction traces the development of Augustine's thought, discussing his reaction to the thinkers before him, and themes such as freedom, creation, and the Trinity."--Jacket.
