On Faith, Works, Eternity and the Creatures We Are (Reading Augustine)

Andre Barbera

4.9/5 (21406 ratings)

Description:In this volume André Barbera considers the question of faith, how an individual may act faithfully, and what good (if any) is faithful action. Barbera draws in particular from Augustine of Hippo's comments of time. Barbera's argument, influenced in addition by the work of philosophical thinkers such as Søren Kierkegaard and the Apostle Paul, allows for the interpretation that faith is not merely a struggle, but also a fulfillment.Augustine devoted Book 11 of his Confessions to the concept of time, applying the principles of Grecian philosophy and reason to the Christian concept of God and His creation, and concluding theat God existed before time began while, for humans, time possibly exists merely within the mind. Barbera thus works from the inquiry that while God is not bound by time, the person of faith is enslaved by it. Beginning with an analysis of the different types of faith, Barbera explores numerous aspects of faithful living - from faith as pursuit of knowledge, original sin and tests of faith, to the power of prayer, and even the concept of atheism. Barbera concludes with the thought that the individual might not simply find rest in faith, but rather discover life, with all its trial and contradiction.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
