The Confessions - Book 03
from Church Fathers and theologians - The theology of Creation
This text is an excerpt from Saint Augustine's Confessions, specifically Book III, which narrates his early life in Carthage. Augustine recounts his descent into Manichaeism, a dualistic religious sect, after being drawn away from his Christian upbringing. He describes his struggles with worldly desires and his search for meaning and wisdom in philosophy and rhetoric. Augustine ultimately rejected Manichaeism after realising its errors and the power of the Christian faith, which was deeply ingrained in him from his mother's devout influence. Hosted on Acast.
