St. Augustine's Confessions
Tuesdays, April 7-May 26, 6:30-8:00 p.m.
St. Gregory the Great Msgr. Klasen Building, 1609 W Gregory St.
with Prof. Scott Moringiello (DePaul University)
In his Confessions – equal parts memoir, prayer, philosophical treatise, and theological masterpiece – Augustine explores the nature of goodness, the puzzle of sin, and the necessity of friendship. He savors the love of God that is offered in Christ and his Church. He even realizes (as we all do eventually) that his mother was right all along.
In this course, we will read and discuss the autobiographical parts of Augustine’s Confessions (Books 1 through 9). No experience with Augustine is necessary. Please join us as we delve into this classic text!
