THE 363 Saint Augustine, Teacher of Christianity

Augustine of Hippo (d. 430) grounds the history of western theology, and still informs modern fields like psychology and linguistics.  While situating him in Roman antiquity, the course studies his thought as an account of Christian faith seeking understanding.  We will read in depth his classic, theologically profound conversion story, the Confessions, and study his thought on God, Scripture, and the grace of Christ.
