St. Augustine’s Confessions (Course Fee)

Robert Royal guides the student through St. Augustine’s classic and highly personal book the Confessions, with a few brief excursions into his other works, including his massive and massively important City of God.

St. Augustine may very well be the most influential thinker in all of Western Christianity, a figure who had an enormous impact not only on the Church but the world as well. Join Robert Royal for this illuminating 5-week course, which originally ran as a live offering, but is now conveniently available OnDemand.

What course participants say

"Let me say how much I've enjoyed the class. My knowledge of St. Augustine until now was limited to the two famous quotes -- "make me chaste but not yet" and "our hearts are restless until they find rest in you." Reading the Confessions has shown me why Augustine has been such a towering figure in the church. He is unlike anyone else. It's also been a privilege to have a course with Robert Royal.

- Neil G.

Thank you for providing this wonderful course. I learned so much and appreciate your sacrifices to present it. Dr. Royal is an academic and spiritual treasure!

- Judy F."
