St. Augustine: His Philosophy is a comprehensive book written by Angel C. Vega that delves into the philosophical ideas of one of the most influential figures in Christian history, St. Augustine. The book explores the life and teachings of St. Augustine, including his views on God, the nature of reality, and the human experience. Vega provides a detailed analysis of Augustine's philosophical works, including his seminal work, The Confessions, and explores the ways in which Augustine's ideas have influenced Western philosophy and theology. The book is an essential resource for anyone interested in the history of philosophy, Christian theology, or the life and work of St. Augustine. This is a new release of the original 1931 edition.

During the years between Augustine's ordination to the priesthood (391) and his consecration as the Bishop of Hippo (395 or 396), he took an intense interest in biblical exegesis. One of the fruits of his penetrating investigations is his two-volume Commentary on the Lord's Sermon on the Mount, of which a lucid English translation is presented in this volume. Also included are Augustine's subsequent, self-critical remarks (Retractationes 1.19) on this commentary, as well as seventeen selected sermons on topics relevant to the commentary.
