Book Review Of True Religion

I have just finished reading Augustine's Of True Religion. What can I say? Augustine is one of the greats. One can never go wrong in reading Augustine. Of True Religion is a powerful apologetic for the Christian faith. It is above refutation; it cannot be countered with any argument; and rebuttal on the part of an unbeliever would at best be disgraceful. I cannot do it justice. You simply have to read it. His mastery of presuppositional apologetics is second to none, and his talent for demonstrating how the natural universe testifies of God is captivating to the soul. This is no elementary read, however. A little bit of historical and theological context regarding the occasion of the work is necessary for an accurate understanding of the work.
