Christian History Magazine—Issue 15: St. Augustine of Hippo
Overview
Pope John Paul II describes St. Augustine as “an incomparable man whose children and disciples we all are…” His writings still bring readers to rarely-visited levels of theological inquiry and vulnerability. His quasi-Pauline turnabout from a Manichaean apologist to the 5th century defender of Christian orthodoxy inspires reverence for the life-changing gospel, Jesus Christ. Become a child and disciple of this great saint through a stirring issue of Christian History & Biography.

Top Highlights
“For Augustine, the pear tree was his parallel to the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. It was his personal reenactment of the Fall. His conviction that all humanity participates in Adam’s sin found validation in his own experience. His orchard was Adam’s garden; his peer pressure was Eve’s seduction; his theft from a slumbering neighbor was Adam’s disobedience while God was hidden from view. His stolen pears were the forbidden fruit. His guilt was Adams’s guilt.” (source)
