In this episode, we explore one of St. Augustine’s most influential theological frameworks: the Four States of Man. From humanity’s original harmony in Eden to the tension-filled struggle after the Fall, Augustine explains our different nature in relation to sin.
Join us as we break down each state—able to sin, not able not to sin, able not to sin, and not able to sin—and unpack what they reveal about the human condition.
Whether you’re new to Augustine or revisiting his thought with fresh eyes, this episode offers an accessible, engaging guide to one of the foundational ideas in Christian understanding.
