TAN Direction St. Augustine of Hippo Part 2: The Confessions

St. Augustine of Hippo Part 2: The Confessions

“You have made us for thyself, O Lord. And our hearts are restless until they find rest in you.” This beautiful thought can be found on the very first page of Augustine’s Confessions, and the timeless gems for forming our interior life continue every page thereafter. Dr. Paul Thigpen joins TAN Publisher Conor Gallagher to discuss how exactly Augustine’s Confessions hold a mirror up to ourselves, even sixteen centuries later. Discover why this act of full transparency was so courageous, particularly during the time of the Donatist heresy. And consider why Augustine’s title of Confessions does not merely refer to his admissions of sin and guilt.
