A big Thank You to 1) the author of this work, 2) the man reading it aloud and 3) the audio publisher. This 19th century biography by a theologian about a theologion is as moralistic as one could expect in a book from the 19th century. I liked his criticism of his subject though, at the end of the book. Accusing St A. Of being more concerned with beating opponents (calling in the emperor’s army to achieve this), thus sacrificing true christian virtues; ‘winning’ was all. On another note, the story,m tends to put the listener to sleep. Extra kudos for the man who reads it out aloud - he has that perfect monotony in has voice that must have taken years to perfect. Especially if one plays it at 0.8 speed, this is the ideal audiobook for a sometimes-insomniac like me. I find it very useful to help me sleep and I will certainly listen to it again and again, as I keep missing what must be crucial bits in the not-so-interesting life of the great St. Augustine.
