Augustine: A Very Short Introduction

Short Review - Augustine: A Very Short Introduction by Henry Chadwick - worth reading, but bogs down in Neo-Platonism discussion. I have really liked some of the Very Short Introduction series and really not liked others. This is in the middle. Chadwick tried to be chronological as he discussed Augustine's views and I think he probably needed to because Augustine changed his mind about many things (or at least moderated his position). But that made it hard to feel like I was getting an overview.

I have a discussion of what I actually learned on my blog at http://bookwi.se/augustine/
