The Confessions – Episode 5

Ignatius Press: Off the Shelf

Moving to book 9, Father Fessio, Joseph Pearce, and Vivian Dudro begin by examining Augustine’s views on hymns and singing before discussing St. Monica and her past weakness with alcohol. Then they begin to read the more philosophical texts in book 10 where Augustine writes about the movement of the soul from the things of this world to the divine.
