The Augustine Catechism

The Enchiridion on Faith, Hope and Love

Augustine of Hippo

"The Enchiridion, literally meaning a book one holds in the hand, is the mature thought of unquestionably one of the most influential theologians of the western church, St. Augustine of Hippo (354-430). Augustine discusses the theological virtues of faith, hope, and love. . . . Those seeking an excellent introduction either to the thought of the mature Augustine or those needing material for catechetical instruction in the parish would do well to consult this timeless classic."
