St. Augustine and a Resurgent Paganism
The Church thrived in the Greek East, but not so much in Rome. The old rites were now forbidden, but Rome's educated class of pagans made bold to promote the old Roman ways, and were led by men of real education. This threat in the end moved St. Augustine to pen his greatest work, The City of God.

St. Augustine and the Civitatem Aeternam
St. Augustine's idea of the Civitas has almost no correspondence to what we moderns mean when we say "city." So what does he (and his world) mean by this phrase, and what exactly is the Civitas Dei (of his De civitate Dei)? That's what this episode starts to address.

St. Augustine and the Angelic Destiny of Man

Tradition! Tradition!
This week Dr. Jenkins, after a seeming gratuitous poem from John Donne (but can anything from Donne be gratuitous) looks again at how we should think about Tradition, and why this is so relevant when discussing St. Augustine."

Customer Reviews
Enjoying this!
I would not consider myself an Orthodox Christian, but I am a true believer in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. And I am eagerly seeking truth, and this podcast is helping me to fulfill this journey of seeking out Church origins. Thank you for all you do, and God bless you.
Very grateful for this.
OK. Per your request for feedback, I do love what you’re doing! Thank you so much Dr. Jenkins for such excellent educational content, which I would never have the privilege to learn otherwise. God bless you for blessing me with it, although sometimes rabbit holes seem to appear and cause thematic incoherence. Thank you too Ancient Faith Radio. But arrgghh, did you have to spoil Faust after all (who has I have yet to read) with TMI about it? Lol.
Anyway, thanks again so much for lighting my way home with these greatly needed candles along my lonely path.
Magnificent Church History podcast
Excellent, clear and concise history of the Church. This history is then organically connected to how and why the Church does what it does today.
