Saint Augustin

Behind the forbidding ramparts of Saint Augustin’s books, Louis Bertrand finds not a remote bishop but a restless, passionate man—and a life still burning with conflict. How can a soul from a dying empire feel so startlingly near?

Augustin’s story unfolds as the Roman Empire falters and old beliefs contend with new ones. From Thagaste to Carthage, Milan and Rome, he moves through the tumult of great cities, wrestling with desire, doubt and the search for faith. His struggle is inward, but its stakes reach beyond himself: the Church is divided, the world he loves is changing, and a soul’s fate hangs in the balance. What will steady Augustin amid the clamor of a civilization in crisis?
