### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Very inspiring
  

*by E***E on Reviewed in the United States on December 31, 2023*

One of the inspiring books I have in my collections.

*by W***H on Reviewed in the United States on January 25, 2016*

I prefer this biography of Augustine to the more recent one.  Brown is clearly a scholar of immense erudition.  He does an eloquent job of showing us Augustine as a human being, not merely a saint.  Also that Augustine was not always a nice person.  Brown also clearly explains the doctrinal controversies of the time and the factors that resulted in Catholicism being the "orthodox" version of Christianity in the western empire.  Another point that comes out relevant to later history (especially the justifications for the Crusades): that the Middle East and North Africa were Christian territories long before the rise and conquests of Islam.  And that the eastern churches were more theologically sophisticated than the western at the time of Augustine.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Buy the very latest edition.
  

*by H***A on Reviewed in the United States on September 9, 2022*

This is obviously one of the essential books to read in the field of intellectual history, particularly, but not exclusively, in the  field of Late Antiquity.  I will not repeat what others have said in great detail only to note that the very last chapter, "New Directions", is a critical addition to the latest edition of a very fine book.
