General Description:

The Manichean Debate by Saint Augustine

Eight works countering the Manichean religion, three of which have never been translated into English. Augustine’s writings on this subject provide a major source of information on and a fascinating look within a system of thought that during much of the third and fourth centuries challenged orthodox Christianity for dominance in the Roman Empire and beyond. Augustine addresses not only the Manichean understanding of the source and nature of evil, which furnished a basis for its intellectual attractiveness, but also the sect’s highly unusual customs and practices.

The Works of Saint Augustine - the new series from New City Press, in conjunction with the Augustine Heritage Institute, will provide the complete works of Saint Augustine for the first time in the English language. New translations, introductions and notes by renowned Augustinian scholars are included in the series which is foreseen to be 48 volumes. General Editor: Boniface Ramsey, O.P.
