Episode notes
Today’s reading explores Ignatius of Antioch’s Epistle to Polycarp (Chapters 7-8), Augustine’s Confessions (Book 5, Chapters 6-8), and Aquinas’ Summa Theologica (Part 1, Question 34, Article 2). Ignatius exhorts unity, discipline, and submission to God, while Augustine reflects on his disillusionment with the Manichaeans and how God used Faustus’ failure to guide him toward truth. Aquinas discusses why the Son is properly called the Word of God, reinforcing the theological depth of Christ’s eternal procession from the Father.
