This lecture discusses key ideas from the early medieval philosopher and theologian, Augustine of Hippo's work, The Confessions.
It focuses specifically on his discussion in book 11 of how God and time are related to each other, starting from questions raised by considering creation out of nothing and what God was doing or thinking before that creation. As it turns out, there is no time before creation, since time as we know it involves change of things. Augustine also discusses how God knows past and future events, namely as being in eternity
