Description: St. Augustine: Faith, Hope, and Charity (Enchiridion De Fide Spe Et Caritate) by Augustine of Hippo (St. Augustine) translated and annotated by Rev. Louis A. Arand published by The Newman Press, Westminster, MD, 1955. First Edition, Third Printing. Hardcover with dust jacket. This book is a compact treatise on Christian piety written by Augustine of Hippo. It is intended as a model for Christian instruction or catechesis. “The significance of this little book lies in the fact that here Augustine makes the first attempt to give a systematic presentation of the principal doctrines of the faith. He discusses the fundamental question whether it is possible to grasp faith by reason and to what extent faith cannot be fathomed by human understanding. He finds the briefest formulation of Christian teaching and of Christian living in the triad: faith, hope, and charity. Creed and the Lord's Prayer, both dear to the heart of every Christian, furnish the structure for the profound discussion which follows. Fundamentally, however, the entire work, from the first page to the last, treats of God's incomprehensible love for man.” (From the blurb) CONDITION: This book is in good condition.
