Day 9: Searching for Answers (The Confessions of St. Augustine)
In his latter teenage years, we find St. Augustine diving into Scripture, Cicero, and the Manichaeans. It is at this point in his life that St. Augustine turns to Manichaeism. Fr. Gregory Pine and Fr. Jacob-Bertrand Janczyk explain why St. Augustine joined the Manichaeans. They share what problems St. Augustine felt they answered. Today’s readings are Book 3, Chapters 5-7.
