Enchiridion of Augustine

Enchiridion of Augustine
The Enchiridion, also known as the Handbook of Augustine of Hippo, was written around 420 AD in response to a request from Laurentis. This compact treatise serves as a guide for Christian instruction, focusing on the three essential graces: Faith, Hope, and Love. Augustine elaborates on the Apostles' Creed to teach doctrine and counter heresies, discusses the Lord's Prayer as a model for prayer, and concludes with a discourse on Christian love. It is notable for its structured approach to Christian piety and catechesis.
