In his letter to Boniface, history's most quoted bishop, Augustine has a lot to say. Throughout the letter, the reader is struck by many attributes, among them are his compassion, strength, logic, and his reliance on the Scriptures. The letter opens by complimenting Boniface for his fervent desire to know the truth of Christ. Wasting little time, Augustine dives right in by mentioning the Arians and the Donatists. Avoiding the temptation of taking the side of either, Augustine points out the flaws in both, however, this letter is certainly more concerned with the Donatists.
