The Baker Academic St. Augustine Collection makes Augustine’s thought accessible, explains his ideas clearly, and prompts further reading. The Essential City of God offers introductory essays, essential selections from City of God, and critical commentary on the text, enabling readers to study Augustine for themselves. The Augustine Way shows how Augustine defended the faith in late antiquity and how his approach to engaging the culture has great significance for the apologetic task today. The Theology of Augustine introduces Augustine’s theology through seven of his most important works.
