Good article. After reading it I thought of the psalm that goes: "I have not gone after things too great nor marvels beyond me. Truly I have set my soul in silence and peace."
Beautiful connection! It's amazing how much the Psalms are entrenched in Augustine's soul and how often they pour out from his writings. Like the Psalmist, he often startles us with the fire of his love for God and his hatred for sin. The mistake that is so easy to make is to try and measure him by our measure rather than submit to be measured by his.
Fantastic article, Matthew!
