Of Holy Virginity

by Saint Augustine of Hippo

A powerful and moving defense of the Christian ideal of virginity. Of Holy Virginity is a treatise by Saint Augustine of Hippo, one of the most influential figures in the history of Christianity. In this work, Augustine argues that virginity is the highest state of Christian life, and he offers a detailed defense of this view. Augustine begins by arguing that virginity is a gift from God, and that it is a way of imitating Christ. He then goes on to discuss the many benefits of virginity, including freedom from sin, closeness to God, and the ability to devote oneself more fully to the service of others.
