On Faith and the Creed and Concerning Faith of Things Not Seen (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162893716)

""On Faith And The Creed And Concerning Faith Of Things Not Seen"" is a book written by St. Augustine, a prominent theologian and philosopher of the early Christian Church. The book is a collection of Augustine's writings on the nature of faith and the Christian creed, as well as his thoughts on the role of faith in understanding the unseen world.The book is divided into three parts. The first part deals with the nature of faith and how it relates to reason and knowledge. Augustine argues that faith is not opposed to reason, but rather complements it, and that faith is necessary for a true understanding of the world.The second part of the book is devoted to the Christian creed, which Augustine sees as a summary of the essential beliefs of the Christian faith. He explains the meaning of each article of the creed, and shows how they are all interconnected.The third and final part of the book is concerned with the faith of things not seen. Augustine explores the nature of the unseen world, including the existence of God, the nature of the soul, and the afterlife. He argues that faith is necessary for understanding these mysteries, and that the Christian faith provides a framework for understanding them.Overall, ""On Faith And The Creed And Concerning Faith Of Things Not Seen"" is a profound exploration of the nature of faith and its role in understanding the world and our place in it. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in Christian theology and philosophy.THIS 52 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: St. Augustin on the Holy Trinity, Doctrinal Treatises and Moral Treatises: Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers of the Christian Church V3, by St. Augustin .
