Last week, I asked if anyone wanted to join me on Facebook in reading Augustine’s City of God. The response overwhelmed me. I hoped about 30 people would join me, but the group currently has about 1,300 members. We’re having some lively discussion. I hope we can keep up the momentum longer than a week.
Some people expressed interest in reading and discussing Augustine but didn’t like the idea of Facebook. I’m happy to announce that David Reimer and some others at the University of Edinburgh have started a non-Facebook discussion group. Check it out here.
