Teaching Christianity (On Christian Doctrine) (Works of Saint Augustine)





Teaching Christianity is the most original book Augustine ever wrote. It is not so much a treatise or scholarly work but an instruction manual on how to teach Christianity. He wrote this how to book for those who would be preaching and explaining Christianity. It is entirely based on the bible and helps the reader express its truths of faith with soundproof methodology. It is a book that will help readers to communicate their message in a clear and effective way.

`Edmund Hills new translation of Augustines treatise On Christian Doctrine is superb. His early and mature thought on how to understand scripture and how to communicate that understanding to others is set forth clearly and attractively. The translator has shown great discernment in his choice of words an d in their placement. This makes for a smooth reading. Extremely valuable are the scholarly endnotes provided after each of the four books. The new title chosen by Edmund Hill, namely, Teaching Christianity indicates that Augustine is here instructing the African clergy, probably the bishops, how to preach effectively to their congregations. The treatise is not focused on doctrine.'

Question by Last2Fall: What field of engineering is most demanded these days?

My preference are biomedical, chemical, or nuclear. If you are a professional in one of these fields, can you give me some advice and description of your career. Just a thought what field of engineering has the best salary?




Best answer:

Answer by Syllogistic Libertarian
The bio craze is still going, but right now environmental engineering is huge. If you can put green in front of it, or talk about "sustainability", then everyone and their dog will throw money at you. I'm a research chemical engineer at a national lab, finishing my PhD in chemical engineering.< a href='http://Inspirational.booksharecentral.net'> My topic is ionic liquid delignification of biomass for green auto composites. I started in the solar energy industry as a semiconductor engineer, but got bored with process engineering and went back to get my master's. I've worked on fuel cells, combustors, microchannel devices, and a zillion other things. That's what research is like. But almost every call for proposals I see wants a focus on the environment in some way. If you go chemical with an environmental engineering focus then you'll have to beat recruiters off of you with a stick come graduation. Trust me.
