Product Description Augustine's interest in Genesis began early in his life and escalated after his conversion to Christianity. His first work On Genesis: A Refutation of the Manichees written in 389 was followed by The Unfinished Literal Meaning of Genesis (begun in 393 but never completed), and The Literal Meaning of Genesis (completed in 415). He examines Genesis also in Book XI-XII of the Confessions and in Book XI of the City of God. In all of these works Augustine attempts to unravel the thought and inner meaning of chapters 1 to 3 of the creation account as well as other passages of Genesis. The Literal Meaning of Genesis is considered one of his greatest works alongside the trilogy Confessions, The Trinity, and The City of God. |
