midway of Book VI out of Book XXII; taking my time to read this as i'm not the biggest fan of theology, but, i absolutely love the style of refutation, augustine shines in almost every aspect, even though some parts (a lot actually) made me go "huh?", it somehow manages to bring forth answers to questions we still ponder today, after 1526 years later.

absolutely love the style of translation, the manner of questioning and then answering with such brevity, it's beautiful seeing augustine's dedication to the christian faith while also understanding its amongst the many religions of the world. i just got past the question about troy and it was a nice overlap, given the odyssey being released last week. taking 20 pages whenever i read as while good, it's exercise

page xxiii of introduction and i'm already so pulled into the world of augustine, of the 5th century ad. having just watched Ben Hur, also reading about Histories (written during 5th century BC) and then this, the overlap is pretty nice... but i can also already foresee this being a pretty dense book to dive into due to the descriptions
