Well worth reading, with the link to Augustine's City of God being a nice bonus. It's hard to disagree with the author's perceived parallel between the zeitgeist of Augustine's day and our own. This linkage also ties in well with Steve's recent post observing the cyclical nature of human experience with his old high school as the frame of reference. The words of the Preacher of Ecclesiastes ring profoundly true - there's nothing new under the sun. Vanity. All is vanity.
