{"product_id":"9781433544941","title":"Augustine on the Christian Life: Transformed by the Power of God","description":"\u003cp\u003eAugustine is widely considered to be the most influential theologian in church history after the apostle Paul. Dramatically converted from a life of licentiousness to one of wholehearted devotion to Christ, the humble North African pastor quickly established himself as a leading figure within the ancient church. In Augustine on the Christian Life, historian Gerald Bray explores the rich spirituality of this extraordinary man, examining his historical context, approach to the Christian life, and work as a preacher and teacher of God’s Word. Drawing on Augustine’s many writings—including his classic spiritual autobiography, the Confessions—Bray demonstrates Augustine’s enduring relevance for Christians today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePublisher: Crossway\u003cbr\u003e\nType: Hardback\u003cbr\u003e\nISBN: 9781433544941\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e______________\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGerald Bray (DLitt, University of Paris-Sorbonne) is research professor at Beeson Divinity School and director of research for the Latimer Trust.

How fitting that Gerald Bray leads us to consider Augustine not for his own sake, but as a gateway to a vision of the one true God and the life lived more deeply in his triune presence. With a teacher’s wisdom and a scholar’s facility with the primary texts, Bray helps guide readers more deeply into the Christian life through the great bishop’s interaction with a host of challenges—real, cruel threats to Christian faithfulness—ranging from the Manichaeans to the Donatists and the Pelagians. Take up and read, and let Bray take you to school.” Michael Allen, John Dyer Trimble Professor of Systematic Theology and Academic Dean, Reformed Theological Seminary, Orlando\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gerald Bray","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45861975556288,"sku":"9781433544941","price":14.5,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0575\/0371\/1424\/files\/aa775977306cbd2a3a6870d553d8776f3c391b9a.png?v=1733985700","url":"https:\/\/www.shalomchristianmedia.com\/products\/9781433544941","provider":"ShalomChristianMedia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
