As we continue learning about St. Augustine’s early childhood, he questions why his Baptism was deferred and connects this to his struggles with vice.

Jacob-Bertrand Janczyk explore the effects of books and media, noting that what we consume affects what we pursue. Today’s readings are Book 1, Chapters 11-16.
