Augustine of Hippo’s Confessions have shaped the history of Western philosophy, theology, psychology, and literature. Join Morningside over lunch as we read through this great work in its entirety, from the stolen pears of Augustine’s youth to his meditations on time and eternity.

On Friday, October 24, at 1 PM, join Dr. Nathaniel Peters (Morningside) and Mr. David Oakley for a reading group on the entirety of Augustine’s Confessions. For the first session, we read Books I–IV from Henry Chadwick’s translation.

This reading group is co-sponsored by the Thomas Merton Institute at Columbia. Lunch will be provided, and copies of the book are available to participants.
