    Yes, this is a fascinating topic.
    Another important thing in Augustine’s thought, I think, is in his De Trinitate. Fathers of the Church reflect on man as the image of God. Augustine sees it in the “trinity” of the memory, intellect and will.
    If you are not familiar with that, check here, starting in Book 10 and in each of the following books: https://www.newadvent.org/fathers/1301.htm
