Lauren Winner joins host Karen Wright Marsh to take a fresh look at the story of Augustine and the promise of his faith for today.

You’ve probably heard of Augustine (354-430) -- but if you’d met him as a college freshman, you wouldn’t have considered him to be saint material. Smart and ambitious, he’d rejected his mother’s faith in Jesus in favor of sex and high living. So how did Augustine become one of the world’s best known Christians?

Lauren Winner teaches Christian spirituality at Duke Divinity School, and is the author of numerous books, including Wearing God and The Dangers of Christian Practice.
