About the Author

Augustine, the man with upturned eye, with pen in the left hand, and a burning

heart in the right (as he is usually represented), is a philosophical and

theological genius of the first order, towering like a pyramid above his age,

and looking down commandingly upon succeeding centuries. He had a mind

uncommonly fertile and deep, bold and soaring; and with it, what is better, a

heart full of Christian love and humility. He stands of right by the side of

the greatest philosophers of antiquity and of modern times. We meet him alike

on the broad highways and the narrow footpaths, on the giddy Alpine heights

and in the awful depths of speculation, wherever philosophical thinkers before

him or after him have trod. As a theologian he is facile princeps, at least

surpassed by no church father, schoolman, or reformer. With royal munificence

he scattered ideas in passing, which have set in mighty motion other lands and

later times. He combined the creative power of Tertullian with the churchly

spirit of Cyprian, the speculative intellect of the Greek church with the

practical tact of the Latin.
