Today, we trace the intellectual and spiritual journey of Saint Augustine, this early church father in the search for meaning. We follow his rebellious youth, his famous confrontation with sin in the 'Pear Incident', his deep dive into Manichaeism, and the pivotal moments that led to his dramatic conversion and the creation of the seminal theological thoughts that still define modern Christianity...
