Sacred and Profane Love Episode 26: St. Augustine and the Index of Self-Destructive Acts

from Sacred and Profane Love

In this episode, I talk with philosopher Jamie Smith (Calvin College) about St. Augustine and Christopher Beha's latest novel, The Index of Self-Destructive Acts. Our conversation covers the surprising connections between St. Augustine and the existentialists–most especially Albert Camus–and how St. Augustine can help us understand the gap between what we long for and the finite world that we are situated in.
