| Summary: | Augustine wrote and spoke for a small circle in a single province, which was soon to be engulfed in a sea of barbarism, and ultimately absorbed into the vast empire of Islam. He ruled no order; he founded no school: his immediate influence upon the Church, save in the matter of the Pelagian controversy, cannot have been great, and all traces of his presence upon earth soon dis-appeared. It was not so with his writings. They remained to spread like oil in the centuries to come, and his many ideas germinated and blossomed far and wide like seeds from some famed garden of Europe broadcast upon the primeval virgin prairie. |
