Description of Andrew Knowles, author of Augustine and His World:
Firmly situating Augustine within his fourth century context in North Africa, Augustine and His World traces the major themes in the life of the great Bishop of Hippo. Knowles and Penkett examine Augustine as a young man, his dramatic conversion to Christianity, his ordination, the major controversies he found himself enmeshed within, and Augustine's enduring legacy. Like the other IVP Histories, this volume juxtaposes a readily accessible text with beautiful full-color art, illustrations, and photographs, making it an excellent introduction to the life and thought of Augustine.
