Augustine of Hippo was a highly multifaceted personality; intellectual, mystic, bishop, monk, philosopher, biblical thinker. His Confessions have been classics of world literature for centuries: for the first time in the history of culture, an individual had written at length about himself and placed the subject, the human being himself, at the centre of history.
This book aims to give a deeper insight into the man with the burning heart. The heart is the common thread that runs through the book and the iconographic symbol used in all illustrations of Augustine.
Against the glowing backdrop of North Africa, where he was mainly active, some twenty specialists seek to shed light on Augustine's thought.
The present work on Saint Augustine approaches this monumental figure from various aspects, and successfully portrays to the reader many aspects of the vast contribution left by Augustine to all people.
