Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Saint Chrysostom and Saint Augustin My friend, Mr. Thomas Whittaker, proposes to publish a series of Studies in Christian Biography, devoted to the leaders of Christian thought and Christian life, in ancient, mediæval, and modern times. He requested me to open the series with biographical sketches of St. Chrysostom, the greatest of the Greek, and St. Augustin, the greatest of the Latin Fathers. To this proposal I readily consented, with the understanding that I could make free use of material which I had previously prepared and recently enlarged as editor of translations of the chief works of these Fathers.* The memory of St. Chrysostom and St. Augustin can never die. They left their mark on every page of Church history, and their teaching and example will continue to prepare preachers and divines for their work. Petrarch carried the Confessions of St. Augustin always in his pocket; he called him "the philosopher of Christ" and "the sun of the Church," and made him his confessor in the autobiographical Dialogue on the Contempt of the World. A high admiration of these truly great and good men is quite consistent with an acknowledgment of their defects and errors.
