Claire Bowers-Dingus’s Reviews > On Christian Doctrine by St. Augustine [Dover Publications, 2009] (Paperback) [Paperback] > Status Update

This was not as revelatory as Confessions, but it was far more practical. The chapter on teaching (shocker) is my favorite.

I unfortunately have to give this 4 stars, because Augustine is a product of his environment. His understanding — or misunderstanding — of the female sex is laughable.

“For eloquent speakers are heard with pleasure, whereas the wise are heard with profit.”
