The book ""St. Augustin the Writings Against the Manicheans and Against the Donatists: Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers of the Christian Church V4"" is a collection of writings by Saint Augustin, a prominent figure in the early Christian church. The book contains his writings against two heretical groups, the Manicheans and the Donatists. The Manicheans were a Gnostic sect that believed in a dualistic worldview, while the Donatists were a schismatic group that rejected the authority of the Catholic Church. In these writings, Saint Augustin argues against their beliefs and defends the orthodox teachings of the Christian faith. The book is part of the larger Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers series, which collects the writings of early Christian theologians and scholars. Overall, this book provides valuable insights into the early Christian church and its struggles against heresy and schism.1887. Volume 4 of a 14 volume set.
