Hi there kerwin,
sorry to hear you perceive this as spamming. I just wanted to share an uplifting experience and easy-access resource with you. If you don’t like audio-books or aren’t interested in Augustine, just don’t click the link. Should people click the link, Augustine certainly won’t get any royalties for it anymore: The guy has been dead for about 1600 years.
His theology is still very much alive though. It’s not as if I personally agree with him in every single point, in fact there are some points in which I sharply disagree with him. But many Western Christians - Catholics and Protestants alike - have internalized his teachings so much that they accept his doctrines almost without question: Believe in the Trinity, original sin, free will, just war, eternal punishment … ? All of this is stuff that Augustine came up with. As for his reflections about time: even many secular philosophers still see them as groundbreaking. So why should this not be discussed here?
