I realize I know little to nothing of St. Augustine. Looking forward to the next article on his philosophy and writings. Thanks, Lightman.

The pope is a model of simplicity and clarity. I have never seen a better summary of the life of St. Augustine, expecially the description of Amrose’s influence on him. A tidbit. Ambose liked Augustine’s mother, did NOT like him. Monica must have been something. I have the impression he got his intelligence, and much else, from her.
