James K.A. Smith Quote
It is Augustine who is really the patron saint of the Reformation – and only because the Reformers saw Augustine’s theology as a powerful expression of a robustly Pauline theology. So without wanting to sound overly pious or triumphant, I think it is very important to see that Reformed theology was not a sixteenth-century invention. It was a recovery and rearticulation of a basically Augustinian worldview, which was itself first and foremost an unpacking of Paul’s vision of what it meant that Christ is risen.
