Story4.5 out of 5 stars 406
These 12 illuminating lectures paint a rich and detailed portrait of the life, works, and ideas of this remarkable figure, whose own search for God has profoundly shaped all of Western Christianity. You'll learn what Augustine taught and why he taught it – and how those teachings and doctrines helped shape the Roman Catholic Church. These lectures are rewarding even if you have no background at all in classical philosophy or Christian theology.

Good introduction to Augustine, but Cary struggles to think with the Church and the philosopher whenever it concerns even remotely challenging teachings.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 412
Teresa of Avila's Interior Castle is one of the most celebrated books ever written by a mystic on abiding in union with Christ. Writing in obedience to the requests of two of her superiors, the humble 16th century Spanish sister protests "...for the love of God, let me get on with my spinning and go to choir...like the other sisters...I am not meant for writing; I have neither the health nor the wits for it."

Invaluable contemplative prayer guide

Despite Teresa's humble claim nobody but her sisters could benefit from this, this layman has.
