Sitzen vier Omas im Knast. Klingt wie ein Witz, aber Humor haben die Damen gerade keinen, dafür ein Problem. Schwere Körperverletzung, wahrscheinlich mit Todesfolge. Ursprünglich war das anders gedacht: Ferien für immer im Altenheim. Die Idee war gut, die Wirklichkeit nicht so. Club Tropicana hat zwar keine erwartet, aber diese Endlagerstätte für senile Altlasten auch nicht: tölpelhafte Zivis, verrückte Mitinsassen, sadistische Oberschwestern.

This book was written in Latin by Augustine of Hippo (354 - 430) to discuss the Trinity in relation to God the Word (logos). Even though it is not as well known as some of his other writings, it is considered by many to be his masterpiece and of more doctrinal importance than either the Confessions or the City of God. St. Augustine is considered a saint in the Catholic Churches, the Eastern Orthodox Church, and the Anglican Communion. He is ranked among the doctors of the Church in the Roman Catholic Church.

Die Volkskultur der schönen Landschaft um Salzburg war schon immer reich an Geschichten und Sagen über die sie umgebenden Berge und in ihr so zahlreich vorhandenen Seen. Augustin Kloiber wählte nun einige der packendsten und schönsten Sagen der Region aus, um sie Jung und Alt in seiner einzigartigen Weise zu erzählen. Die Aufnahmen entstanden direkt am Wolfgangsee im traditionsreichen Parkhotel Billroth in St. Gilgen. Von dieser schönen Umgebung inspiriert, entstanden hier auch die Ideen für die kleinen musikalischen Zwischenspiele, geschrieben von Marcus Busch.

Written after the capture of Rome in 410 by Alaric, King of the Visigoths, St Augustine's City of God was intended as a response to pagan critics who blamed Christianity for this brutal defeat. Augustine attacks ancient pagan beliefs and relates the corruption and immorality that led to Rome's downfall, which began before Christ, before reaching his main argument: that the City of Man is perishing and only the Heavenly City of God will endure.

Au Moyen Âge et à la Renaissance, les philosophes vont mener trois combats : les théologiens médiévaux intègrent les valeurs chrétiennes à la philosophie antique ; les philosophes chrétiens et mystiques opposent à la toute-puissance théologique les bienfaits de la philosophie antique ; les humanistes de la Renaissance réenchantent le monde et inspirent le renouveau de la métaphysique. Cet ouvrage cherche à mieux comprendre les relations entre philosophie et christianisme et redécouvre le mystère des penseurs de la Renaissance.

The Enchiridion, or as it is sometimes titled, Faith, Hope, and Love, is a short treatise on Christian piety, written in response to a request soon after the death of St. Jerome in 420. The essay was meant to serve as a model for Christian instruction (catechesis).

Wenn wir daran gehen, unser Haus einbruchsicher zu machen, dann wird das so wunderbar perfekt geschehen, dass wir am Ende selbst nicht mehr hineinkommen. Vielleicht, dass wir es an lauen Sommerabenden voller Stolz umrunden: wie ganz uneinnehmbar, wie schön! Dieses Hörbuch versammelt Perlen von Ernst Augustins "poetischem Journalismus". Sie sind aus großer Not entstanden, wegen der Sitzplätze in den Zügen, der Heizölrechnungen, der Fahrradfahrer.

In the wake of the devastating sack of Rome by the Goths under King Alaric, those who worshipped false gods began to blame the Christian faith for this calamity, launching a fierce wave of blasphemy against the true God. This sparked Augustines fervor to defend the City of God from the slanders and distortions of its adversaries. Over many years, he meticulously crafted this monumental work, comprising twenty-two books. The first five respond to those who claim that the prosperity of Rome was tied to its polytheistic traditions, while the next five address those who acknowledge the ...

Among the most beloved saints in the Catholic tradition, Francis of Assisi (c. 1181-1226) is popularly remembered for his dedication to poverty, his love of animals and nature, and his desire to follow perfectly the teachings and example of Christ. During his lifetime and after his death, followers collected, for their own purposes, numerous stories, anecdotes, and reports about Francis. As a result, the man himself and his own concerns became lost in legend.

The City of God is the usual English translation of the most influential work written in the fifth century. Augustine, bishop of Hippo, wrote it between 413 and 426. Augustine argued that Christianity was not the cause of the empire’s collapse. He turned the gaze from the city of Rome to the City of God, in the spiritual life of true believers.

Augustine’s reflections serve as a guide, balancing the beauty and responsibilities of marriage against the backdrop of early Christian ...

In this thought-provoking exploration, the doctrine of predestination and divine grace is robustly defended against the semi-Pelagian viewpoint—those who, while not fully embracing Pelagianism, assert that the initiation of salvation and faith originates from human effort. Augustine argues that both the inception and growth of faith are gifts from God. He candidly acknowledges his earlier misconceptions in some of his minor works prior to becoming bishop, highlighting a pivotal shift in his understanding, largely influenced by the phrase, but what have you that you have not received? This ...

In his work Retractions, St. Augustine reflects on the significance of virginity, stating, After I had written on the Good of Marriage, it was anticipated that I would address the topic of Holy Virginity.
