Ep 17 - Thomas Aquinas: Summa Theologiae - Quaestio 1, Articulus 1 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In the opening article of the Summa Theologiae, Thomas Aquinas asks a foundational question: is sacred doctrine necessary? Why do we need theology if human reason can discover truth about God? What exactly is sacred doctrine? In this episode, we begin our journey through Aquinas's Summa Theologiae by examining his answer to these questions and considering why theology is ultimately grounded in God's revelation to us.
Ep 16 - Confessions by St. Augustine Book VIII - Part 2 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this episode, we continue our journey through St. Augustine’s Confessions , exploring the profound story of his conversion and the transformation of his heart. Beginning with the conversion of the Roman philosopher Victorinus, we discuss Augustine’s own struggle with divided desires, his encounter with God’s grace, and the moment that leads him from hesitation to surrender. Together, we reflect on themes of sin, longing, grace, and the restless heart that finds its true rest in God.
