- In this video, we explore the life and theology of Augustine, we dive into the transformative journey of his life from restlessness and indulgence to his profound conversion to Christianity. This video explores Augustine's intense spiritual quest for truth, his initial embrace of Manichaeanism, and his eventual disillusionment with the sect. Witness his pivotal spiritual awakening in Milan, which steered him towards significant intellectual pursuits and laid the foundation for his theological legacy.
Learn how Augustine grappled with humanity's sinful nature and the necessity of divine grace, along with his views on the sovereignty of God in salvation and the important role of the Catholic Church. Discover his insight that true joy and happiness can only be found in loving and rejoicing in God for His own sake, a revelation that shaped Christian thought for centuries.

Excellent presentation! Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Good video. Covered the life and work of Augustine about as well as can be done in a 16-minute video. Thanks for doing these.
A video about Christ's descent into hell sounds very interesting. Would definitely love to see that one.
Thank you for the insight. Wonderful.
I hope you do a series of these Church fathers...
Absolutely love learning about Augustine.
Wonderful! Thank you so much for all you do: your videos, posts, books… How can we have the best use of all this content? I forget often so much what I hear or read and when taking notes, I don’t go back to them!
Good ol' Augustine.
I must read the City of God
Yes you must!
Hey Dr. Bird, regading City of God, is there a specific translation you recommend?
