On Christian Doctrine: The Enchiridion

The Enchiridion, also known as Faith, Hope, and Love, is a concise treatise on Christian piety written shortly after St. Jerome's death in 420. Organized around the core themes of faith, hope, and love, the work serves as a guide for Christian instruction. Augustine employs the Apostles' Creed to teach doctrine and challenge heresies related to faith, explores the Lord's Prayer as an ideal model for hope, and concludes with reflections on the importance of Christian love.
