R.C. Sproul: How St. Augustine Proved the Skeptics Wrong

Who was the greatest theological and philosophical mind of the first millennium of the Christian church? In this insightful lecture, Dr. R.C. Sproul introduces the profound biography and legacy of Aurelius Augustine (St. Augustine), the historic "Doctor of Grace" (Doctor Gratiae). Dr. Sproul explores how St. Augustine deconstructs the rise of philosophical skepticism in his day. Using famous classical illustrations like the "bent oar in the water" and subjective perceptions of temperature, Sproul explains Augustine’s defense of the basic reliability of sense perception as our only physical link to the external world. Discover how Augustine proved that skeptics are logically self-refuting, how eternal mathematical truths (like 3+3=6) point to an eternal divine Mind, and how his theory of divine illumination and creation ex nihilo (creation out of nothing) laid the very foundation for both Protestant soteriology and Roman Catholic ecclesiology. #RCSproul #StAugustine #ChristianPhilosophy #Epistemology #Apologetics
