This is a video in my new Core Concepts series -- designed to provide students and lifelong learners a brief discussion focused on one main concept from a classic philosophical text and thinker.

This Core Concept video focuses on Augustine of Hippo's work, Confessions, specifically on his discussion of the childhood, adulthood, and final days of his mother Monica in book 9 of the work. She prayer for Augustine throughout his life, and got to see him eventually convert to Christianity and join the church. Her own life was marked by putting into practice the precepts of her own faith consistently.
