Confessions: It is quite famous. It was written by Augustine when he was a bishop. It is a spiritual autobiography of hymns. Repentance of original sin is only the result of praise. Augustine was able to reinterpret his past because he quickly realized how God's mercy on sovereignty attracted the prodigal son back. The most prominent thing in the book is to report his pious mother Monica, which is the most fascinating mother-child relationship in ancient literature. This is a work full of spiritual beauty. Confessions shows us how to face the light of self-confidence with a strong will and a rich mind.

City of God: The most influential part of this book has been written for 12 years. First of all, Augustine defended the accusation that Christianity was responsible for the humiliation of Rome in 465,438+065,438+0 years. He believes that Christians attach too much importance to the cities on the ground and are confused about suffering and fate. This book shows the historical panorama of secular and sacred, empire and Bible, from creation to final judgment. The message in City of God focuses on the afterlife. A truly peaceful and just society can only be found in heaven, which is the fate of a group of people who love God. Their pilgrimage to the earth, their sense of identity and their wealth are all mixed with the people of the "city on the ground", and there is no difference between church and society. Augustine was fully aware of the fuzziness of human existence.

On the Trinity: This is Augustine's only masterpiece that does not involve controversial topics of his time. He devoted himself to exploring the theory of meditation, which is a set of trinity theological works with great weight since the Latin godfather. Contrary to the teachings of the early Greek elders, he attached great importance to the fact that the sacred "three people" were completely equal, but their relationship was different. He believes that the Holy Spirit is "love", which unites the Father and the Son, so it also unites the Trinity and the Church. Inspired by Neo-Platonism and the Bible, he explored the analogy of human trinity, that is, the internal relationship between memory, understanding and will.

Enchiridion Faith, Hope and Love: Different from the former, this is the basic truth of Christianity written by Augustine, which is closest to a pocket book. It has great charm in modern times, representing the shortest notes he taught in language.

Christian doctrine is a guide to the interpretation and understanding of the Bible. This book discusses the value of secular training of Christian teachers, such as rhetoric, so it provides a rigorous principle to combine humanities with Christian theology. From medieval times to modern times, this view has long influenced western education.
