Discover one of the most significant theological and ecclesiastical debates of the early Church through the powerful writings of St. Augustine. This collection of the Writings in Connection with the Donatist Controversy, translated by Rev. J.R. King, gathers Augustine’s essential responses to the Donatist schism—a movement that challenged the authority of the Catholic Church in North Africa and raised critical questions about the nature of the Church, the validity of the sacraments, and the role of holiness in the clergy.

In these texts, Augustine demonstrates his brilliance as both philosopher and pastor. He defends the unity of the Church, articulates the theology of grace and sacramental efficacy, and responds with clarity and depth to a crisis that threatened to divide Christianity.

This volume includes some of Augustine’s most important anti-Donatist works, such as:

• On Baptism, Against the Donatists

• Answer to Letters of Petilian

• On the Correction of the Donatists
  

Whether you are a theologian, historian, student of the early Church, or simply a seeker of truth, this collection offers a window into Augustine’s uncompromising commitment to Catholic unity and his enduring theological insight.

Enter the world of the 4th-century Church and witness St. Augustine's intellectual and spiritual battle for truth and unity.
