More wisdom from St. Augustine

 
 
 

Thus, even though the miracles of nature’s visible order have lost their wonder for us, due to the fact that we see them all the time, still, when we view them wisely, they are greater than even the rarest and most unusual of miracles. For man is a greater miracle than any miracle done by man.

—St. Augustine of Hippo

from the book, The City of God

A TRUE CLASSIC

Few books have impacted the West as deeply as The City of God. This volume offers a shorter, simpler road through Augustine’s masterpiece. Edited by Hans Urs von Balthasar, it presents key selections from The City of God, culled for their beauty and spiritual power, buttressed with notes, and arranged by theme—from the creation of the world to the Roman Empire, from human happiness to the nature of death.
