Lent Series | On the Road with Saint Augustine
The 2023 Lent Series is titled “On the Road with Saint Augustine,” after the book by James K.A. Smith. The Adult Ed Committee invites you for dinner, drinks, and fellowship every Wednesday of March from 6-7:30 pm in the Parish Hall. Each week, a member of the staff will lead a discussion on a major theme of the book. You are invited, but not required, to read along!
Augustine of Hippo is the patron saint of restless hearts. Now James K.A. Smith, long one of our most interesting theological thinkers, both orthodox and outlier, reintroduces this figure who is at once strange and familiar, ancient and contemporary. This book is a journey into the greatest journey of all, and a delight to read. Highly recommended. – Krista Tippett, host of On Being
On the Road with Saint Augustine is a learned, large-hearted, and quite lively introduction to Augustine, or to life by way of Augustine, or to God by way of both. The variety of Smith’s references is astonishing, as is the seamless way he moves among them. I expect many modern readers will find themselves – and, crucially, much more than themselves – in this book. – Christian Wiman, author of My Bright Abyss
