Saint Augustine in 50 Pages The Layman Quick Guide to Augustinianism edition by Taylor Marshall Religion Spirituality eBooks Reviews
This is a greater starter for anyone wanting to touch base on who he is, what he taught and how what he taught has been twisted.
Wonderful read, for after dinner.
This is a well-written, and easy to read summary of the life, works, and church issues of St. Augustine of Hippo. It is very faithful to the traditional Catholic church view of St. Augustine and his teachings. I enjoyed reading this short work. I have some experience with the life and work of St. Augustine, and Dr. Taylor Marshall, oversimplifies and to some degree glosses over two issues worthy of greater expansion in clarification. The first concerns St. Augustine's position on human sexuality. Dr. Marshall presents the Catholic church's "smoothed over" analysis which affirms that human sexuality is good. My opinion is that, for whatever reason, St. Augustine remained deeply conflicted about his sexuality and human sexuality even sexuality in marriage. The second issue is about Pelagianism. Pelagianism is traditionally taught as a heresy that denies the necessity for divine assistance in life and for salvation. I doubt that St. Augustine was completely fair to Pelagius. My view is that Pelagius focuses on human goodness, basic human goodness. And Augustine focuses on basic human wickedness. I think the Catholic Church has also corrected Augustine by maintaining in these days at least that all creation including human beings were created good and that we are now in a fallen state. With divine grace we are returned to our original goodness.
Just finished Dr. Taylor Marshall's new e-book "St Augustine in 50 Pages." It was a nice overview of the saint's life and work. As someone who's read Augustine's "Confessions" several times and the entire "City of God," I still learned quite a bit from Dr Marshall's short treatment. If you're completely unfamiliar with Augustine's work or if your a seasoned Augustine devotee, this book is worth checking out.
This is the second volume by Taylor R. Marshall that I have read. I have also since attended two of his live webinars. I can highly recommend this book. Taylor really knows how to pack a lot of information into 50 pages. This book follows his immensely popular Thomas Aquinas in 50 Pages The Layman's Quick Guide to Thomism. Even though almost 900 years separated the two authors these in 50 pages books links them, their works and give good reasons for us to be studying them and going deeper. Marshall writes in a very engaging and easy to read style. To be honest I hit the end of the book and was surprised even knowing it was a short volume when I began. He presents the material in such a way that it does not seem like many academic writers, and as such is quickly becoming a favourite writer of mine.
The chapters in this book are
Introduction
Who was Saint Augustine?
Augustine's Contributions
Augustine's Legacy
List of Books on Augustine for Beginners
The Writings of Augustine
Taylor states of Augustine that "Augustine was great at writing and disputation. He kept the quill in his hand. His books and sermons reveal a man gifted for infusing heartfelt passion into theology so as to make it practical." And to be honest that is what Taylor himself is doing. This book can be a reminder for those of us who finished formal studies years ago, for the younger reader as a primer for a high school or first year university course. Or for anyone who wants to dip their toes in the pool of knowledge but be warned once you get the toes wet especially with an author like Taylor you will likely dive in.
This was a wonderful little read. And I do plan on going on and very soon reading more from Taylor R. Marshall. I can recommend this book and believe that it will spark a hunger and thirst for more knowledge. Give it a go you have nothing to lose and maybe a whole lot to gain. Well done Mr. Marshall well done.
This pamphlet, besides not being quite 50 pages, is poorly edited with many omitted prepositions and being verbs. Furthermore, the author has repeated a whole paragraph twice on pages 31-32. Not much new material here that Wikipedia couldn't provide. Certainly not worth $15.
