In St. Augustine in 90 Minutes, Paul Strathern offers a concise, expert account of St. Augustine's life and ideas and explains their influence on man's struggle to understand his existence in the world. The book also includes selections from St. Augustine's work, a brief list of suggested readings for those who wish to delve deeper, and chronologies that place St. Augustine within his own age and in the broader scheme of philosophy.

Entertaining but...
Reviewed: 09-13-21
I am reminded of of something David Goldman said; Trying to explain a conversion experience to someone who hasn't had one is like trying to explain being in love to someone who has never been in love.
It is entertaining but Strathern lacks a full understanding of the Christian faith. His cynicism can be rather tiresome for believers. This colors his ability to grant Augustine his due.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
