Bonus Episode: Introduction to Book 7 (The Confessions of St. Augustine)
Setting the scene for Book 7, St. Augustine begins considering God differently. He is now 30 years old and no longer holds a dualistic understanding of who and what God is. Turning from all the previous notions he had, he looks to Plato. Fr. Gregory Pine and Fr. Jacob-Bertrand Janczyk explain what neoplatonism is and why this is important for us to prepare for Book 7.
