The Commentaries 6. The Confessions of St. Augustine: Wanderings of the Mind and Heart
Dr. Paul Thigpen explores the historical context of Saint Augustine's association with the Manichean sect, a radical offshoot of Gnosticism. Augustine's journey unfolds, revealing his struggles with lust, his embrace of Manichean beliefs, and the profound impact of a friend's conversion on his own spiritual path, ultimately leading to a heartfelt portrayal of grief over the friend's death.
Episode six covers Book IV, chapters 1-16.
