This month is named after the emperor Augustus, but I’d rather think of it as a month for Augustine, the saintly theologian who died almost 1600 years ago. Augustine’s City of God, 1300 or so pages in modern translations, is a lot to lug to a desk, so I recommend Gregory Lee’s The Essential City of God: A Reader and Read More ›
