History

St. Augustine's Press was founded in 1996 by the late Bruce Fingerhut. According to its About Us page, the Press represents the enduring effort to reconcile citizenship and conscience, and, always, the mind and the heart. Fingerhut is described as an intellectual 'gatekeeper' who published works of reasoned faith, philosophical acumen, and political sobriety. The Press maintains Fingerhut's hope for America's future, embodied in a Tocqueville quotation he often repeated. Fingerhut also established the Press as a 'portal' between the new world and the old, a channel for the best political theory and philosophy of Europe to reach Americans. The Press has matured into an intellectual and cultural authority, introducing readers to works by notable guides such as James V. Schall, Peter Kreeft, Ralph McInerny, Charles Rice, Stanley Rosen, Marvin O'Connell, and John Deely, and has brought classics of Aquinas, Aristotle, and other masters back to life in new editions.
