Description
How should parents raise children, and how should schools educate children? Why are we attracted to things that are forbidden? What is time? How can we understand God, or the nature of evil? What is true friendship? To answer these questions, Professors Cook and Herzman look to the Confessions of St. Augustine of Hippo.
Over the course of 24 fascinating lectures, you'll study this great book's staggering influence on Christianity and Western civilization, seeing how it provided a source of inspiration for such noted thinkers and writers as Petrarch, Dante, and Martin Luther. Even though the Confessions is more than 1,500 years old, it still speaks to us and has the capacity to change our lives.
The professors trace the narrative of Augustine's early life and the key events that led to his Christian conversion at age 31. In a succession of stories that are as powerful as any in world literature, Augustine seeks to understand the same issues in his life that many people try to understand in theirs, arriving at profound conclusions that offer stunning insight into our psychology and morality and challenge us to become wiser and better people.
This course is a superb springboard and companion guide to your reading and rereading of one of history's singular books: one that will challenge and stimulate your mind and provide a framework through which to find true understanding, value, and meaning in your life.

Solid lecture series, enjoy the presenters
Rather than employ a particular (verbalized) analytical lens, the two lecturers try to give context to Confessions, and to give it divisions or subcategories with which the work can be more easily understood. I really enjoyed it!

Great Listen on an important work
The two lecturers worked so well together. As soon as one finished making a point the other woukd step in. Both are amazing and they enriched each others presentations by adding additional detail or a different take throughout the course. I always found the Confessions to be a moving and important work for me personally but it is difficult to fully grasp. This course bridges the 4th century work for the modern reader. Will defibetly return to this course in my library many times!
