Abstract
To mention Augustine's name is to evoke one of a handful of towering geniuses in the history of the Christian West. Even in an age that has repudiated much of what he stands for, he is still acknowledged as a giant among giants, a phenomenon of sorts, a thinker of surpassing depth and subtlety. His weakness, if he has one, is that he tried to be all things to all people; his greatness, that he mostly succeeded.
