    City of God (Part 1 - Books I-V) by St Augustine of Hippo

    It’s one of the most influential books in Christian history — but here’s the twist: Augustine wasn’t European. He was African. ✨ Born in what is now Algeria, Augustine shaped theology, philosophy, and Western thought more than almost anyone (except Jesus and Paul)… yet most Africans (and honestly, most Christians) have no idea he’s part of our heritage. In this episode, I’m diving into Part 1 (Books 1–5) of City of God — where Augustine begins unpacking his massive response to the fall of Rome and what it means for faith, empire, and where our ultimate loyalty lies. 🏛️🔥 If you’ve ever overlooked how deeply an African mind shaped the very foundations of Christian theology, this episode might surprise you. 🌍💭 Maybe it’s time we return to Augustine — not just as a historical figure, but as a voice the modern Church has forgotten to listen to. 🕊️ What if in rediscovering his words, we also rediscover something we’ve been missing? 🎙️ Links mentioned in this episode City of God by St Augustine of Hippo  The Ninety-Five Theses and Other Writings by Martin Luther   Confessions by St Augustine of Hippo Jesus Spoke Their Language - Do We?
