20. The Confessions of St. Augustine: Rest and Peace At Last


Listen Later

Dr. Paul Thigpen concludes The Commentaries: The Confessions of St. Augustine by delving into the final chapters where Saint Augustine reflects on the Sabbath as a symbol of eternal rest and peace in heaven. Augustine's journey from soulful disorder to divine order underscores the importance of loving God above all else, as disordered loves lead to inner turmoil. Through deep spiritual insight, Augustine unveils the concept of Sabbath rest as a foreshadowing of eternal tranquility, emphasizing that ultimate peace is found in God alone, culminating in a profound prayer for the everlasting peace of the Sabbath.

Episode 20 covers Book XIII, Chapters 35-38.
