"Non esiste pagina del grande filosofo di Ippona che non si riveli illuminante per l'uomo contemporaneo. Princìpi, intuizioni, giudizi e consigli che hanno attraversato i secoli e che in ogni epoca hanno condotto l'uomo verso quel luogo della quiete imperturbabile dove l'amore non conosce abbandoni.
Davide Monda propone una scelta di brani in cui l'amore, in tutte le sue accezioni, si fa questione fondamentale, attualissima e urgente."

Aurelius Augustinus - more commonly "St. Augustine of Hippo," or simply "Augustine" - was a philosopher and theologian, and one of the most important figures in the development of Western Christianity. He framed the concepts of original sin and just war. Augustine was one of the most prolific Latin authors in terms of surviving works, and the list of his works consists of more than a hundred separate titles.
Augustine took the view that the Biblical text should not be interpreted literally if it contradicts what we know from science and our God-given reason. Many Protestants, especially Calvinists, consider him to be one of the theological fathers of Reformation teaching on salvation and divine grace.
