"This biography was first published thirty years ago and has since established itself as the standard account of Saint Augustine's life and teaching. One of the founders of Latin Christianity, Augustine of Hippo's writings and teachings changed ancient thought into its medieval and modern forms, and his influence is felt even today.". "The recent discovery of a considerable number of letters and sermons by Augustine has thrown fresh light on the first and last decades of his experience as a bishop. These circumstantial texts have led Peter Brown to reconsider some of his judgments on Augustine, both as the author of Confessions and as the elderly bishop preaching and writing in the last years of Roman rule in north Africa. In a substantial new Epilogue to his acclaimed portrait of the bishop of Hippo, Brown reflects on the significance of these exciting new documents."--BOOK JACKET.
