Augustine Of Hippo, Confessions - Ponticianus' Story And Self-Examination - Sadler's Lectures

This lecture discusses key ideas from the early medieval philosopher and theologian, Augustine of Hippo's work, The Confessions. It focuses specifically on the story that Ponticanius relates of two of his friends who were converted from secular to monastic life though their reading of the Life of St. Anthony, and the effects that this story has on Augustine, who is provoked to self-examination as he listens.
