"I thoroughly enjoyed this book. As other reviewers have pointed out, it is remarkable the degree to which Brown can reconstruct the interior life of a man who lived nearly 1600 years ago. This is an excellent book for anyone who wants to read about the Roman world, but doesn't want to just read about Emperors, debauchery and military conquest. This is at least as good as any biography of an American president that you'll ever read.
If you're historically inclined, the epilogue and other materials at the end are extremely interesting. Brown is very good about explaining how the materials he used for the biography wound up shaping what he had written and how recent discoveries and scholarship have revised our impressions of Augustine.
Do not be daunted by its length. Granted, this is just the kind of book that appeals more to me than most people, but this was my breakfast table reading for a month or two with a small baby. If I can read this through in a moderate to severe state of sleep depression, then you too should be able to get through it without much difficulty."
"Well-written biography of the famous North African saint. Includes extensive information on his philosophical and theological views. May be a bit confusing for the reader without a background in early Christian exegesis, but still very readable, and an excellent introduction."
"This excellent biography of the late neo-Platonist-turned-Christian was assigned reading for Dave Hassel's Philosophy of St. Augustine course during the first semester of 1981/82 at Loyola University Chicago. Having read all of the early and much of the later work of this western patristic figure, I found Brown's book extremely rewarding in giving me a better sense of Augustine's background and political life as a church bureaucrat. Readers only familiar with his Confessions will, however, not be lost as Brown presumes little knowledge of his readers.
For some greater account, informed by Brown to some extent, of my opinion of Augustine, see my review of the book entitled Augustine the Reader."
