S4 E6: Augustine's Two Cities

St. Paul's letters: a good addition to the Bible or more of an optional editorial? In St. Augustine's eyes, absolutely essential! Join us as we discuss everything there is to know about St. Augustine's political theory. We start with the problem of evil and St. Augustine's temporary solution in Manichaenism, his conversion to Christianity, and the writing of The City of God, which explains why Rome's fall was not the fault of the Christians, theories on punishment, the death penalty, just war, and more! This is the longest episode we have ever recorded, so it is jam packed with rants, opinions, and all the political discussion you could possibly ask for!  Follow us on Twitter! @UlmtdOpinionsGive us your opinions here!
