Accessible Augustine: Beauty Ancient and New.

Dr. Samuel D. Rocha, Assistant Professor of Educational Foundations & Research at the University of North Dakota, introduces St. Augustine’s “Confessions” in a serious and sympathetic way, as a worthwhile text for any layperson to read and study. Dr. Rocha also highlights how St. Augustine teaches the Church about the utility of philosophy in the Christian life, especially within a secular world, calling for a contemporary renewal of the mind (Rm. 12:2) and the intellectual tradition in the Catholic Church. Several themes in “Confessions” are touched on and applied to present-day issues.
