On Faith and the Creed and Concerning Faith of Things Not Seen (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781168709417)

""On Faith And The Creed And Concerning Faith Of Things Not Seen"" is a book written by St. Augustine, a prominent Christian theologian and philosopher of the 4th and 5th centuries. The book is a collection of three separate works that address the nature of faith and its relationship to reason, the importance of the Nicene Creed in defining Christian belief, and the role of faith in understanding and accepting things that cannot be seen or proven through empirical evidence.In the first section, St. Augustine explores the concept of faith and its relationship to reason, arguing that faith is not opposed to reason but rather complements and enhances it. He also discusses the importance of faith in the Christian life and the role it plays in attaining salvation.The second section of the book focuses on the Nicene Creed, a statement of Christian belief that was formulated at the Council of Nicaea in 325 AD. St. Augustine explains the significance of the Creed and its importance in defining the core beliefs of Christianity. He also addresses various controversies and debates that arose around the Creed in the early Christian church.The final section of the book deals with the topic of faith in things that cannot be seen or proven through empirical evidence, such as the existence of God or the afterlife. St. Augustine argues that faith is necessary for understanding and accepting these concepts, and that reason alone is not sufficient to fully comprehend them.Overall, ""On Faith And The Creed And Concerning Faith Of Things Not Seen"" is a comprehensive exploration of the nature of faith and its importance in the Christian life. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in Christian theology and philosophy, and provides insight into the thought of one of the most influential figures in the early Christian church.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 .
