Day 23: The Nature of God (The Confessions of St. Augustine)


Listen Later

St. Augustine considers the nature of God in Neoplatonic terms. Searching for a way to explain his reality, St. Augustine broadens his philosophical understanding of what God is. Fr. Gregory Pine and Fr. Jacob-Bertrand Janczyk discuss free will, the root and cause of evil, and our freedom to turn toward or away from God. Today's readings are Book 7, Chapters 1-4.

Please note: The Confessions of St. Augustine contains adult themes that may not be suitable for children - parental discretion is advised.
