Great Starting Point ....

Richard Price does an wonderful job touching on the theology of Bishop Augustine, as well as giving a simplistic introduction to the Saint.Augustine of Hippo wrote some of the most influential Christian doctrine, but it was, and is, very difficult reading for the layperson.This book puts forth Augustine's difficult topics like Original Sin, Relations within the Church, and the Trinity in an easily read format. The book is dry at times, but is still a most enlightning read.If you are looking for a beginner book on Saint Augustine of Hippo, or if you are looking for a brief review of this Holy Doctor of the Church, than this is a very good resource.
