Building a Better World: A Contemporary Augustinian Perspective - Paperback

by Arthur Purcaro (Author), Pope Leo XIV (Foreword by)

A captivating commentary on the Rule of Saint Augustine

from the viewpoints of environmental and social justice, and authentic human relationships.

"The message of Augustine, as lived and taught by Fr. Art Purcaro, is something that will benefit the readers of this book. Just as Saint Augustine encourages the reader of his Rule to use it as if looking in a mirror, so too can this book be an opportunity for reflection and prayer, which can then become a new pathway to walk together with one another in harmony, in order to move forward in peace, with God and with the world around us."

Pope Leo XIV

(From the Foreword)"This essential work will speak to all who seek authentic faith that engages both personal transformation and systemic change in pursuit of a more just and sustainable world." Ilia Delio, OSF Josephine C. Connelly Endowed Chair in Theology Villanova University
