Description

*Revisions* , like many of Augustine's works, has a singular purpose. Composed in his old age, he reviews nearly all his writings, summarizing and correcting and even expressing regret. The *Revisions* is important not only for establishing the chronology of Augustine's works but also for providing insight into his own thought and self-evaluation.Augustine of Hippo is one of the greatest thinkers and writers in the Western world. After becoming a Christian he was made bishop of Hippo in Africa, where he was influential in civil and church affairs. His more than 100 books, 200 letters and 500 sermons have left a lasting impact on Western philosophy and culture. His classic and best-selling works include the *Confessions* , *The Trinity* , *The City of God* , and *Teaching Christianity*.
