Reading Augustine presents concise, personal readings of St.
Augustine of Hippo from leading philosophers and religion scholars.
Augustine of Hippo knew that this fallen world is a place of
sadness and suffering. In such a world, he determined that
compassion is the most suitable and virtuous response. Its
transformative powers could be accessed through the mind and its
memories, through the healing of the Incarnation, and through the
discernment of Christians who are forced to navigate through a
corrupt and deceptive world. Susan Wessel considers Augustine's
theology of compassion by examining his personal experience of loss
and his reflections concerning individual and corporate suffering
in the context of the human condition and salvation.
