St. Augustine is one of the Church Fathers, a theological giant on whose shoulders I am graced to stand. Brother Assisi rightfully questions the useage that his works have experienced amongst the great unwashed.

I am attempting to raise the same concerns about St. Paul’s great works.

Am I to understand that the Reformed view of ‘reading WAAAY too much into those snippets by Augustine’ is simply code for ‘don’t actually verbalize what Augustine meant so that we can go along and pretend that Calvin was actually Christian’?

No, the Reformed like to read things in context.
