AUGUSTINE OF HIPPO-SELECTED WRITINGStranslated and introduced by Mary T.

Clarkpreface by Goulven Madec"You have made us to be toward you, and our heart is restless until it rests in you"Augustine of Hippo (354-430)Augustine of Hippo (354-430), bishop, philosopher, and Doctor of the Church whose thought molded the Western theological tradition, is clearly one of the most influential figures in the history of the Church.

At the heart of his brilliant philosophical and theological speculation is his spirituality-a spirituality founded on the reality of the soul's experience of the Trinity in the depths of its interiority. This book is a collection of his writings, which in every sense must be considered true classics of spirituality in the West.

Included are excerpts from Confessions, On the Trinity, The City of God, and Homilies on the Psalms along with the complete texts of the Rule of St.

Augustine, On Seeing God, and On the Presence of God. In speaking of Augustine's relevance for our time, Paul VI said: "If St.

Augustine were alive today, he would speak as he spoke a thousand and more years ago.

Why? Because he really personifies a humanity that believes, that loves Christ and our beloved God."
