City of God

Ever thought about reading St. Augustine’s classic work, City of God, but intimidated by its size? Me too! Our guest this week is Dr. Jon Schaff, professor of political science at Northern State University in Aberdeen, SD. In this episode, Chris and Jon begin a short series in which they overview the political thought of St. Augustine, much of which is in the massive work, City of God. Jon will be back later in July to finish the conversation.
