Thanks John.
I can't wait to read his On Christian Doctrine. I have a number of reasons for reading that. I have read Confessions twice.
I will have to reread some of his sections again. While I am not starting the discussion just yet, I found his view of Revelation, especially ch. 20 to be thought-provoking.
I need to reread his section on original sin/creation, etc.

"I have found that even college and university students who are supposed to be covering Augustine's work don't really read him at all, but just all about him. They really aren't getting a good classical education, but a modern one that only appraises it from afar. They don't know how to be properly critical; they've only learned how to criticize and opinionate. This has been quite disappointing to me."
Be encouraged; I was required to read On Free Choice of the Will for introduction to philosophy. This was at a secular university a few years ago. This was my introduction to Augustine, and I have since read Confessions and am now reading City of God.
