This episode is a recording of Chad's lecture given at the Evangelical Theological Society in November of 2019.

We discuss memory in Book 10 as well as hear Chad's defense of Augustine against the charge of being gnostic or simply a Platonist.

This is the 2nd lecture Chad Kim gave at Covenant Presbyterian Church. The first couple of minutes are cut off, but it was only a few introductory comments.

This episode actually comes from a talk which Chad Kim gave at Covenant Presbyterian Church in St. Louis, MO. It was a privilege for him to share what he studies at the university with the local church. If you would like Chad to talk to your church, please get into contact on the AHOCT Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/ahistoryofchristiantheology/

Thanks!

This episode begins with a discussion of the nature of prayer and how we pray. We discuss why Augustine uses prayer as his format for this book and a little bit about our own prayer habits. This conversation ends at about 30 minutes when we veer off into a conversation about the nature of makes an action free or good. The podcast ends with a thorough discussion of book 10 from about 1 hour 10 minutes in until the end.

In our first podcast in quite some time, we are releasing the second half of our conversation on book 9. We discuss the relationship between men and women in late ancient North Africa and the final Ostian Mystical Ascent. We hope you enjoy it!

In a little bit of a departure for us, Tom, Trevor, and Chad discuss some personal responses to the idea of a Christian transformation. Augustine discusses how he and his mother have changed as a result of grace. We discuss addiction and change in the Christian life in this episode.

"Tolle Lege, Tolle Lege. (Take up and Read)." "Lord give me chastity but not yet." These are some of the most famous lines from the Confessions and they come from book 8. This critical book gets a full hour and a half treatment from Trevor and Chad. We discuss what happens to the will when God unleashes it from sin and other really thorny topics. Hope you enjoy it!

Here's the second hour for all you crazy folks who love Augustine and Neoplatonism.
