The Annual Lecture of the PTC

Get to Know the Classics is a series of seminars held at PTC once a month during 2009. Each month a speaker will introduce an classic piece of Christian writing. You don’t need to read up before hand, though we hope to give you a few pages to read before each evening, just to whet your appetite.

I also hope that these Monday evenings will create a community of people who want to read and discuss Christian thinking. The presentations will not be long, so there should be time to stay around for coffee and discussion afterwards.

Here is the full plan for the year.

2nd March Augustine, Confessions – John McClean
