Today, Chad is joined by Dr. Michael Lamb, political philosopher, ethicist, and author of the new book "A Commonwealth of Hope: Augustine’s Political Thought, published by Princeton University Press."


In this episode, they dive into Dr. Lamb’s work, which challenges the prevailing view of Augustine as a purely pessimistic thinker. Instead, A Commonwealth of Hope offers a compelling reinterpretation of Augustine’s political thought as rooted in hope, not despair.


Dr. Lamb brings a rich academic background, having studied and taught at Rhodes, Princeton, and Oxford. He now serves as the F.M. Kirby Foundation Chair of Leadership and Character and Associate Professor of Interdisciplinary Humanities at Wake Forest University.


A special thanks to Dr. Lamb for the insightful conversation!
