I have no business critiquing this magnificent work. I am neither a scholar nor for that matter even very bright. Though I can tell the good stuff from the mediocre. What can I say of this work? Well, I once spent a summer in a small hermit's cave near Death Valley with nothing more to do than read and pray. It took me four months to read Dark Night of The Soul; just a slow reader I guess. I am retired now with nothing more to do than read and pray and do the laundry.I started "On Grace and Free Will" early Monday morning. I have not yet finished, it is Saturday late afternoon. I expect it will take me a while longer to finish; and then I will most certainly read it again immediately following. It took me 1/2 hour to read the table of contents; as I read through the tables I would stop, weep, and pray. Some books are like that for me. This is one. For me, reading Saint Augustine's treatise on Grace and Free Will is like sitting in my living room with Saint Augustine as guest in my home. I have not been able to read a page (that's a Kindle page set for larger font) without stopping to praise God, His Church, His Saints, and for letting me, an ignorant fool of a man, be part of it. Thank you Wyatt; you are a precious man in God's service, thank you very much for this sharing of Saint and scholar. I love this book.
