St. Augustine’s work is great, but difficult to find a translation easy to read. The tendency to be formulaic to the point of unsatisfying exactitude makes this subject a difficult one to convey. After all, we are dealing with the Creator Who undertook to purchase all human flesh at the expense of His Only-Begotten Son, Whose name is preached among us by the Holy Spirit so that we may live and abide in Him forever.
You are correct. It’s a hard subject but I make a point of attacking and teaching hard subjects. Anyone who teaches Sunday School seriously, knows that you learn much more than the class does in the process of preparation. Everybody has their gift that God has given them and mine is researching, understanding and teaching scripture. I really love doing it as does everyone when it comes to their own spiritual gifts.
