Want to Understand Aquinas? Start with Augustine | An Interview w/ Dr. Chad Engelland

Premiered Sep 7, 2020

Today, I'm joined at the bar table by Dr. Chad Engelland of the University of Dallas to discuss St. Augustine and his most classic work, "The Confessions."

St. Thomas Aquinas held St. Augustine in high esteem. In fact, if you think Aquinas quoted Aristotle frequently, then just check out how many times he quotes Augustine!! So, if you want to understand Aquinas, then one of the first things you can do is better understand St. Augustine. Dr. Engelland is an expert on Augustine, and "The Confessions."

This episode is special to me, because next week, we'll start a 7-part video series on Augustine's "Confessions," exclusively for Patrons. Scroll down for a link to my Patreon page, where you can become a Patron and get access to this 7-part series.

So join us for an extremely interesting discussion on THE BOOK, Dr. Engelland says, you should read (aside from the Bible) if you're a Christian.
