Augustine of Hippo was an African bishop, writes on heresies, and quotes 1 Cor 6:10 & Eph 5:5 to insist that the covetous, extortioners won’t inherit the kingdom.

From #Augustine’s teachings to modern reinterpretations, we’ll examine how the idea of inherited sin has shaped Christian life, #theology, and culture.

Recent acquisition for our personal library:

📖 Confessions by Saint Augustine of Hippo

I casually collect interesting Penguin Classics and you're looking at a handful of the first PCs, the 'L series'. Some are American editions with price in $ and some are British with price in £. They sit on my desk at the standalone mid-size public library where I have worked for 17 years and where I am the librarian over adult nonfiction, local history, and reference.
