Studies in Tertullian and Augustine.

Orthodox, theological but a bit stodgy
The Tertullian portion of this work is rather old-fashioned and not very enthralling. It does contain a review of the misunderstanding often encountered on Tertullian's Adversus Hermogenem that Tertullian did not believe in the coeternity of the Son. However this is not enough to make it a necessary purchase. Not bad - just a bit too old-fashioned.

uggg.
Someone recommended this book as the epitome of Augustine's philosophical work. It tries to replicate the style of Plato's dialogues, but its shallow logic, infantile writing, and general poor scholarship as well as just plain lousy thought and development makes me feel like I got gypped buying it.If I could, I would ask for a refund. Ugggg.

Hard to read but .....
I found the style and content interesting from the point of view that it gives the reader a glimpse into the minds of the church thinkers of the time. The arguments are made by someone who knows what they are supposed to believe and the work ignors some seemingly logical conclusions along the way. The primary purpose seems no to be directed at convincing unbelievers but to enforce the church's position. Many obvious, to a well educated populace, quiestions and opposing arguments are not addressed. To get the full impact of the reasoning we must take the work in context. We must imagine that we only knows what the average person knew at the time. Most education of the time was done by the church and the logic is constructed to convince those who believe in the infalability of the church and fear the consequences of opposing church thinkers. Take the time and energy to read this and you will see the logic parralells much of modern religious writings.
