Monday: We will continue with our study of some of the writings of Augustine of Hippo. City of God is available here, and through e-book readers such as Kindle, Nook, and on your iPhone. While Barnes and Noble has an inexpensive edition, I don't recommend purchasing it as we will only read excerpts.
Please take Monday to briefly read Augustine's preface and Of the Adversaries in the Name of Christ. and What Subjects Are to Be Handled in the Following Discourse and familiarize yourself with the historical and social background in which he was writing. The selection is fairly light. Please continue to work on your Chap. 3 vocabulary study. You are likely to see some big words that you don't know in your reading this week. Write down and define any words unfamiliar to you!
Tuesday: Finish Ch. 3 Vocabulary. Read Reasons For Burying the Bodies of the Saints; That We Should Not Endeavor By Sin to Obviate Sin; That the Overthrow of Rome Has Not Corrected the Vices of the Romans.
Wednesday: We will have a Vocabulary quiz on Chapters 2 and 3. I will also be introducing some writing techniques and we will do a writing exercise on Augustine of Hippo, so please ensure that you come to class having read the assignments.
Thursday: Begin Ch. 4 Vocabulary. Read Introduction to Book 2; That the Gods of the Pagans Never Inculcated Holiness of Life; and the Introduction to Book 5.
Friday: Continue Ch. 5 Vocabulary. Read Concerning the Universal Providence of God in the Laws of Which All Things are Comprehended.
