Fathers of the Church
Letter LVII
Description
This and the previous letter are both to a certain Celer, exhorting him to forsake the Donatist schismatics. They were omitted from the printed edition as brief and containing no argument not found in other letters on this topic.
Provenance
The correspondence of St. Augustine that has been preserved includes more than 270 letters, including well over 200 written by him. Those numbered 31-123 span the period from his episcopal ordination until the conference between Catholic and Donatist bishops held in 411.
