Handbook on Faith, Hope and Love

'Faith, Hope, and Love,' by Saint Augustine, is a compact treatise on Christian piety. The book was written to a request by a man named Laurentius. It is intended as a model for Christian instruction or catechesis. As the title indicates, the work is organized according to the three graces necessary for the Christian worship of God: Faith, Hope, and Love. Following 1 Corinthians 13, Augustine describes true worship of God through those three traits. Augustine's description of true worship covers all the major ideas of the Christian religion, providing new and interesting insights on each. Those who desire to understand more about how to worship God will find answers in Augustine's brief book, which will be beneficial for both personal and theological study.
