There’s a passage in this book where Augustine gives due credit to philosophers of the earthly city, saying they find some truth in their argumentation, but that they stop short of finding full truth because they lack the measure and aim which comes with God. Tempted to think Augustine is sketching a proof of God’s existence by objective morality, but not sure.

Five books left, covering 330 pages. I think this is where the book truly becomes a beast.
Content wise, still really interesting. XVII was probably the least philosophical so far, going more into depth on examining the early prophets and davidic books of the bible, but still fascinating. It’s easy to see why he was regarded as the church’s greatest intellect for almost 900 years.
