- http://www.augustinian.villanova.edu/AugustinianStudies/henry.htm
- Part of the Saint Augustine Lecture Series at Villanova University. “Saint Augustine appears to me to be the first thinker who brought into prominence and undertook an analysis of the philosophical and psychological concepts of person and personality. These ideas, so vital to contemporary man, shape not only Augustine’s own doctrine on God but also his philosophy of man. … I shall show that this doctrine of the person … serves to bring Augustine’s creative genius and originality to the fore. … I shall make the further point that this doctrine has been a decisive factor in fashioning the modern world. Indeed, it is precisely this which makes him belong to the world of today and of tomorrow.”

- The Resurrection and St. Augustine’s Theology of Human Values
- http://www.augustinian.villanova.edu/AugustinianStudies/marrou.ht…
- Part of the Saint Augustine Lecture Series at Villanova University. “Saint Augustine has often been charged with a kind of contempt for specifically human values and for those subordinated goals of human conduct which obviously occupy a secondary place. This reproachhas been formulated especially in placing St. Augustine’s theology in opposition to that of St. Thomas. … It is a completely unwarranted oversimplification to summarize the whole development of theological thought by reducing it to an opposition of two rival or complementary currents.”

- St. Augustine and Christian Platonism
- http://www.augustinian.villanova.edu/AugustinianStudies/armstrng….
- Part of the Saint Augustine Lecture Series at Villanova University. “Most people who have studied St. Augustine would be prepared to accept the description of him as a Christian Platonist, indeed perhaps the greatest, and certainly the most influential, of Christian Platonists. But this description, when we look at it more carefully, raises a great many questions. … It therefore seems worth while to explore the question of where St. Augustine stands within Christian Platonism, to enquire what he has in common with and where he differs from other Christian Platonists.”

- Part of “The Classic Text: Traditions and Interpretations”, an online exhibit which “examines some of the high spots of the western literary canon. It explores the foundations of their iconographic standing, demonstrating how they arrive at this status through a variety of means, and not always on the basis of their literary worth. The exhibition gives special focus to how printers, publishers, editors, illustrators, and translators have used the icon of the classic text as a venue for their own agendas.”
