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'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.

This week we look at St. Augustine's account of the angels, and how his view of the angels affects his theological anthropology and even his doctrines of election and history.

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."

This week Dr. Jenkins begins what will be a long and involved discussion of the Pelagian controversy. This touches more than just a British monk, but questions of the soul, freewill, predestination, inherited guilt and corruption, and difference between Greek East and Latin West.

This Episode Dr. Jenkins answers your questions almost completely, but....leaves one that could be quite involved until next week (and thus pushes St. Augustine off for another week).

This week the Podcast shifts towards the west as we look at St. John Cassian. St. John had immense influence on western monasticism through St. Benedict's Rule. But also has been maligned (wrongly) as one of the sources of that dubious theology (dubious in so many ways), Semipelagianism.
This week Dr. Jenkins concludes his discussion of the Origenist controversy by looking at its several stages, the key components, and why it is actually several smaller controversies which each had more or less to do with Origen.
This episode Dr. Jenkins continues looking at the first Origenistic controversy by looking at the key Origenist, namely the enigmatic Evagrius of Pontus, and his weird and wonderful teachings on the nature of the soul and prayer (sometimes weird and sometimes wonderful).

This week we continue our discussion of the first Origenistic controversy by looking closer at the life and teachings of St. Epiphanius, and what it was he found so odious about Origen.
This episode Dr. Jenkins continues his discussion of the Origenistic controversy by running down the rabbit hole of the Anthropomorphite controversy (AD 399). It is more bizarre than anything Alice encountered.
