Augustine organises his treatment around faith, hope, and love, using the Apostles' Creed, the Lord's Prayer, and Christian charity as the central framework for understanding belief, prayer, grace, sin, redemption, and the end of human life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eComposed late in Augustine's career, shortly after the death of Saint Jerome in 420, this short theological treatise distils many of the concerns that shaped Augustine's larger works: original sin, divine grace, free will, evil, forgiveness, resurrection, and the relation between knowledge and love. Its brevity makes it more approachable than \u003cem\u003eThe City of God\u003c\/em\u003e or \u003cem\u003eOn the Trinity\u003c\/em\u003e, but it remains a serious work of patristic theology and one of Augustine's enduring statements on Christian teaching. The work is traditionally understood as a manual or handbook for Christian catechesis, formed around the three graces necessary for worship and life before God. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor readers of early Christian theology, Catholic and Protestant theological history, patristic literature, Christian doctrine, and the writings of Saint Augustine, \u003cem\u003eHandbook on Hope, Faith and Love\u003c\/em\u003e remains a concise and important classic of Western Christian thought.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 94\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.23 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 27, 2012\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50340628267245,"sku":"9781617206238","price":18.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0020\/8918\/9441\/files\/V7kKCHR0mu9781617206238.webp?v=1785130223","url":"https:\/\/www.webster.direct\/en-gb\/products\/handbook-on-hope-faith-and-love-a-classic-christian-treatise-on-faith-hope-and-love-paperback","provider":"Webster.Direct","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
