This book offers good tips to depict properly the main features of Augustinism, the style is plain and most of the times very easy going. Nonetheless, this Introduction is not to be considered as a text available for every student devoid of any ground in the fields of Patristic theories, Paleo-Christian history and even knowledge of the intellectual context of Augustine. Moreover, some parts are too redundant and others are excessively technical (e.g. the argument of the Neoplatonic heritage, the one about the controversy around sexuality with the Pelagians). In short, have some other readings before this and use this book to enhance your knowledge of the topic.
