The evil altar is the meeting place of the forces of darkness. It is the actual place where evil activities are carried out against lives, businesses, families, and destinies.

It is upon the evil altar that the destiny of individuals, families and several nations are tied which of course could make the people tied to these altars live their entire life in penury.

It doesn't matter whether I'm the real thing or not, whether the pack has accepted me or not, because Duncan's mate never will and she's in charge. As long as he still wants me in his bed, she'll want me in a grave.

In the wake of the Gothic siege and sack of Rome, the pagans sought to blame the calamity on Christianity, launching a fierce campaign against the true God with unprecedented vitriol. This backlash ignited my passion for defending the faith and articulating the essence of the City of God in response to these misrepresentations. Over several years, I meticulously crafted this monumental work, culminating in twenty-two books. The initial five books dismantle the notion that polytheistic worship is essential for earthly prosperity, countering the belief that such tragedies stem from its rejection...

The person to whom I had addressed the three books entitled De Peccatorum Meritis et Remissione, in which I carefully discussed also the baptism of infants, informed me, when acknowledging my communication, that he was much disturbed because I declared it to be possible that a man might be without sin, if he wanted not the will, by the help of God, although no man either had lived, was living, or would live in this life so perfect in righteousness.

While the ideas presented may initially seem challenging, they offer profound insights that sharpen the mind and enrich moral understanding. This work, which I contemplated leaving unpublished due to its intricate nature, ultimately aims to inspire a deeper appreciation for honesty in our speech and interactions. - Summary by Augustine

De doctrina Christiana, or On Christian Doctrine, is a celebrated work by Augustine of Hippo, consisting of four insightful books that serve as a vital guide for interpreting and teaching the Scriptures. In the first three books, published in 397, Augustine details the essential roles of Christian teachers and preachers uncovering the truth within the Scriptures, sharing that truth with others, and defending it against challenges. The later sections of book three and the entirety of book four, believed to have been added around 426, delve into the intriguing connection between Christianity and...

“At that time one Vincentius discovered in the possession of a certain presbyter called Peter, in Mauritania Cæsariensis, a little work of mine, in a particular passage of which, touching the origin of souls in individual men, I had confessed that I knew not whether they are propagated from the primeval soul of the first man, and from that by parental descent, or whether they are severally assigned to each person without propagation, as the first was to Adam; but that I was, at the same time, quite sure that the soul was not body, but spirit. In opposition to these opinions of mine, he ...

Through the assisting mercy of God, the snares of the Manichæans having been broken to pieces and left behind, having been restored at length to the bosom of the Catholic Church, I am disposed now at least to consider and to deplore my recent wretchedness. For there were many things that I ought to have done to prevent the seeds of the most true religion wholesomely implanted in me from boyhood, from being banished from my mind, having been uprooted by the error and fraud of false and deceitful men. For, in the first place, if I had soberly and diligently considered, with prayerful and ...

Augustine addresses these controversies head-on, emphasizing the value of marriage while acknowledging the esteemed status of virginity.

Augustine’s reflections serve as a guide, balancing the beauty and responsibilities of marriage against the backdrop of early Christian ...

Nationally recognized speaker and church leader Jay Augustine demonstrates that the church is called and equipped to model reconciliation, justice, diversity, and inclusion. This book develops three uses of the term "reconciliation": salvific, social, and civil. Augustine examines the intersection of the salvific and social forms of reconciliation through an engagement with Paul's letters and uses the Black church as an exemplar to connect the concept of salvation to social and political movements.

In On the Spirit and the Letter, St. Augustine responds to Tribune Marcellinus, who expressed surprise at the claim that man could live sinlessly with divine assistance. Marcellinus questioned how something could be deemed possible if there are no examples to prove it. Augustine passionately defends the concept of grace, illustrating that while the law is good and holy, it alone cannot save us; it often amplifies our guilt when we know our duties but lack the ability to fulfill them. He emphasizes the necessity of the Spirit’s support, which fills our hearts with grace, enabling us to love ...
