In this episode, we wrestle with Augustine and his work - The City of God. Annie Ballard and Russell Hendrix join the discussion today! Together we consider the following questions: Who was Augustine and why does he matter to the Church today? Why did Augustine write The City of God?What are the key themes of The  City of God?Does anything in The City of God in particular, or in Augustine in general, speak to classical and Christian education that we would be advised to consider?  Why should the common Christian read City of God? If someone's overwhelmed by its length, where do you recommend he or she start?Special Guests: Annie teaches Latin at Providence Academy and holds a masters in biblical and theological studies from Moody Bible Institute.Mr. Hendrix holds multiple degrees in theology and boasts a full life of studying, thinking, and teaching about Scripture and theology. His focus over the years has been in Patristics (the early church theologians) and historical theology.
