Description
Specifications

Through careful historical and cultural research, Denton weaves a fascinating study of the pastoral heart and gospel-driven mind of one of Christendom’s seminal figures – a man whose prowess as a theologian has unjustly clouded his zealous determination to see souls saved and the Kingdom of Christ advanced on earth. Breathtakingly beautiful in its scope, Augustine the Evangelist is a significant work of Christian scholarship and an inspiring lesson about the importance of evangelism.
