If you want some context, I highly recommend this clear, engaging, in-depth run-through of Scholasticism, the leading Medieval philosophy which was Augustine's legacy. https://www.britannica.com/topic/Scholasticism https://www.britannica.com/topic/Scholasticism (If you get a paywall, pull up the link in a search engine and open it from there.) You might be thinking: Scholasticism, Augustine, Britannica ... cannot possibly be engaging. I recommend the Enlightenment approach: Try it for yourself.
