Book •
In "On True Religion," Augustine masterfully contrasts Platonism and Christianity, highlighting the latter's accessibility and transformative power.
He argues that while Plato's philosophy offered profound insights, its elitist nature limited its impact on the common people.
Augustine emphasizes Christianity's ability to effect real change in people's lives, a point he illustrates through his own personal journey.
The work showcases Augustine's profound understanding of both philosophical and religious thought, demonstrating how he integrated these two seemingly disparate realms.
It remains a significant text for understanding the relationship between philosophy and religion, and the enduring appeal of Christianity.
