Take classes with me - https://reasonio.teachable.com/ This is the fourteenth in a new series of videos, providing advice, suggestions, and information for students and lifelong learners intending to engage in self-directed study of Augustine of Hippo. I discuss why Augustine would be useful, important, and worthwhile to study. I also suggest which of his books would be best to start with, and what other works you might move on to after those. The approaches and genres of Augustine's works, as well as his historical context and his motivations. I also discuss a bit of the vast literature interpreting Augustine's thought, , and then finish up by suggesting what problems or concerns you don't need to be overly concerned with when beginning study of Augustine (though you might find it useful to consider them later).
