Listen "Ep 25: The Two Loves – The Heart of The City of God"
Episode Synopsis
In this second episode of our City of God series, I’m joined once again by my co-host Jim as we dive into the central thesis of Augustine’s masterpiece: the contrast between two loves that shape the two cities. Augustine writes that the City of Man is formed by love of self—even to the contempt of God—while the City of God is formed by love of God—even to the contempt of self. Together, we unpack what this means for how we view history, culture, politics, and our own hearts. Can we live as citizens of the City of God while still navigating life in the City of Man? And what does Scripture say about being in the world but not of it?Join us for a rich conversation on how Augustine's vision is just as relevant now as it was in the 5th century.#CityOfGod #Augustine #TwoLoves #ChristianPhilosophy #ChurchHistory #CityOfMan #CityOfGodPodcast #FaithAndCulture #TheologyMatters #InTheWorldNotOfIt #SpiritualFormation #JustTheBooksPodcast #ChristianWorldview #AugustineOfHippo
