About this video
Runtime: 25 minsIn part one, Janet Soskice discusses the life and influence of Augustine of Hippo. Augustine is accessible for theology students of all ages, often due to his close ties to scripture before many theological debates arose. An African theologian, Augustine lived from 354 AD to 430 AD and wrote extensively as a bishop and preacher. His "Confessions" is a significant theological and literary work, notable for its form as a prayer addressed to God. This autobiography reveals his conversion and ongoing dialogue with God. Augustine's works influence both Catholic and Protestant traditions, with his ideas deeply embedded in Western thought. His "Confessions" remains a key text for understanding his theology and personal journey.
