Rine, C. Rebecca – Journal of Education & Christian Belief, 2007
The confessions of Augustine of Hippo can be read as a lesson in reading, one in which Augustine teaches by example as well as precept. Throughout this work, the relationship between faith and reading is clearly on Augustine's mind, as is his desire to teach others what he has learned. As we consider our own approaches to the confluence of faith,…

However, the accuracy of his attack falls short of its…
