Listen "6. The Power of Serendipity: What I Have Learned from Augustine"
Episode Synopsis
What strikes me about Augustine's "Confessions" is their expansive notion of divine grace. He portrays it as a power of serendipity, to borrow from M. Scott Peck, one that is continuously at work in human lives in ways that often elude our notice. In this video, I briefly discuss this theme as refracted through Augustine's experience. Specifically, I will share his serendipitous encounter with Cicero's "The Hortensius" as a young student, and how that event changed the course of his life.Support the show
