Recent discussion on the issue of how atheists who support science should treat religion has confronted my with two opposing views on Augustine's approach to science. I am motivated to look into his work to see which view is more accurate. Toward that end I have downloaded audio versions of two of his works from Librivox. His Confessions is autobiographical, so I downloaded the other two. I figured that this work, which covered his early life, wouldn't contain as much information about his views on Church doctrine and how it related to science as the other two.
Augustine's magnum opus, City of God, does touch on his ideas about Christian doctrine among other things. I should say among many other things. At 1.1 GB it can take quite a while to download and even longer to listen to. It runs for roughly forty and one half hours
The Enchiridion is a much shorter work, running only about three hours. It is a treatise on Christian piety with sections on faith, hope and love. The section on faith might have information relevant to this topic.
In addition to these De Doctrina Christiana looks promising.
