AugustinusAuslese: Texte zum Glaubensbekenntnis.

The Frankfurt Jesuit Hermann Josef Sieben has brought out a very useful book of a selection of texts by the church father Augustine on the Apostolic Creed. The comprehensive collection of original citations on the theme of the Creed proves itself to be an outstanding introduction to the theology of the greatest Latin church father. With the help of an index of bible passages, persons and subjects the reader can easily find core statements about smaller themes. The selection of texts has not only a scholarly-theological but also a fully edifying character. A translation into other European languages would be desirable. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
