Augustine of Hippo, the early Latin Church's profoundest scholar, devoted three treatises to these chapters. The first two — \u003ci\u003eOn Genesis: A Refutation of the Manichees\u003c\/i\u003e and his \u003ci\u003eUnfinished Literal Commentary on Genesis\u003c\/i\u003e — are early works. The third and longest — \u003ci\u003eThe Literal Meaning of Genesis\u003c\/i\u003e — was produced at the height of Augustine's maturity and has been ranked with his Confessions, The Trinity, and The City of God. The range, depth and genius of Augustine's thought, which begin to appear in the two earlier writings, are on full display in the third. This volume brings these three works together for the first time in English and provides a valuable and comprehensive introduction to each one.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"The Catholic University of America Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52559272739096,"sku":"9780813210889","price":27.79,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/on-genesis-two-books-on-genesis-against-the-manichees-and-on-the-literal-interpretation-of-genesis-an-unfinished-book-vol-84-paperback-softback-9780813210889","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
