The Augustine Catechism by Saint Augustine (of Hippo) Pdf
New edition and revised translation! Written as a favor for a friend, this “little work” is a wonderful explanation of the Christian faith: a true catechism from which, throughout the history of the church, other catechisms have drawn and learned. Augustine first works his way through the creed, and then the Lord’s Prayer as recorded by Matthew, ending with the sacraments. This is a colossal work in one small volume.

Written as a favor for a friend, this “little work” of Saint Augustine is a wonderful explanation of the Christian faith, a true catechism. From it other catechisms throughout the history of the Church have sprung up, including the recent “Catechism of the Catholic Church,” which quotes Augustine extensively. Within the context of the three theological virtues -- faith, hope, and love -- Augustine masterfully covers Christian beliefs. He extensively comments on the Creed, the Lord’s Prayer as recorded by Matthew, and the sacraments. This is a colossal work in one small volume.
The Enchiridion on Faith, Hope and Love by Bishop of Hippo Saint Augustine Pdf
"...the ideas of this man furnished the themes for the piety and theology of more than a thousand years. No one possessed the "whole" Augustine, but all lived upon the fragments of his spirit from which each appropriated and understood what was "adapted" to his own wants." --Reinhold Seeberg
Augustine and the Catechumenate by William Harmless Pdf
As one of the most influential thinkers in Christian history, St. Augustine (354–430) had a flair for teaching and meditated deeply on the mysteries of the human heart. This study examines a little-known side of his career: his work as a teacher of candidates for baptism. ln the revised edition of this seminal book, both the text and notes have been revised to better reflect the state of contemporary scholarship on Augustine, liturgical studies, and the catechumenate, both ancient and modern. This edition also includes new findings from some of the recently discovered sermons of Augustine and incorporates new perspectives from recent research on early Christian biblical interpretation, debates on the Trinity, the evolution of the liturgy, and much more. This reconstruction of Augustine’s catechumenate provides fresh perspectives on the day-to-day life of the early church and on the vibrancy and eloquence of Augustine the preacher and teacher.
Written by St. Augustine late in his life with the intention of supplying the Roamn layman with a comprehensive exposition of the basic teachings of Christianity.
On the Catechising of the Uninstructed by Saint Augustine,Saint Augustine of Hippo Pdf
Augustine, the man with upturned eye, with pen in the left hand, and a burning heart in the right (as he is usually represented), is a philosophical and theological genius of the first order, towering like a pyramid above his age, and looking down commandingly upon succeeding centuries. He had a mind uncommonly fertile and deep, bold and soaring; and with it, what is better, a heart full of Christian love and humility. He stands of right by the side of the greatest philosophers of antiquity and of modern times. We meet him alike on the broad highways and the narrow footpaths, on the giddy Alpine heights and in the awful depths of speculation, wherever philosophical thinkers before him or after him have trod. As a theologian he is facile princeps, at least surpassed by no church father, schoolman, or reformer. With royal munificence he scattered ideas in passing, which have set in mighty motion other lands and later times. He combined the creative power of Tertullian with the churchly spirit of Cyprian, the speculative intellect of the Greek church with the practical tact of the Latin. He was a Christian philosopher and a philosophical theologian to the full.
For the majority of Catholics, reading the Catechism of the Catholic Church can be an intimidating experience. Few would consider using it as a devotional help or even as a practical guidebook to their Catholic faith. But, with the right tools, the Catechism can be easily navigated and deeply enriching. In From Blessing to Blessing: The Catechism as a Journey of Faith, Dr. Sean Innerst presents the purpose, structure, and themes of the Catechism, and thus helps unfold its truths for the reader. We learn that the Catechism does not simply inform us about Church doctrine, it takes us deeper; it seeks to form us as Catholics, helping us grow in our relationship with God and our knowledge of His truth. Here, the Catechism is approached as a journey, the Christian journey of faith. From Blessing to Blessing seeks to: Enable individual study of the Catechism of the Catholic Church Support RCIA and other adult faith formation programs Supplement diaconate and seminary training Provide a basic foundation for the Pillars: A Journey through the Catechism study program
On Faith, Hope and Love (the Enchiridion): The Early Church Father's Christian Teachings on Prayer and Piety by Saint Augustine,J. F. Shaw Pdf
Dating to the early 5th century AD, the Enchiridion of St. Augustine is a superb example of early Christian instruction and virtues, summating the pillars of the faith in a manner inspiring. Augustine of Hippo was among the first Roman Christians to develop and author a comprehensive spiritual philosophy. As bishop of Hippo Regius, his theological studies and writings provided an excellent foundation to religious scholarship; many of the books he authored served as an example to later authors. A great revival of interest in the early Church Fathers following the Reformation, and again in the 19th century, brought Augustine's works to renewed appreciation and prominence. Detailing how the Christian believer can better his faith with prayer and practice of the virtues set out by Jesus Christ in the Gospels, the book itself is composed in answer to a person named Laurentius. Apparently a Christian curious about his creed, Laurentius sought the advice and counsel of St. Augustine of Hippo.

Catechism Of The Catholic Church Revised PB by David Bordwell,The Vatican Pdf
The first edition of the new Catechism went out across the world in many language versions. This gave the local Churches the chance to study it in depth. Through their bishops and teachers they responded with comments on texts that needed refinement. The present edition was developed in the light of these comments and published in Latin as the definitive Editio Typica. This book is the English translation of the Editio Typica.
