Ep. 050: Augustine and Original Sin (Confessions)
Manage episode 319372099 series 3261168
Augustine's Confessions is perhaps the most well-known literary work by an early Church father, except maybe Augustine's more philosophical work City of God. In this episode, The Good Fight explores the doctrine of original sin, which Augustine is famous for formalizing and popularizing, especially as it relates to Augustine's comments about infancy in book I. Are infants guilty? If so, of what? If not, why do some die? See below for resources used in this episode:
