Podcast Description – February 2
In today’s readings, we explore profound theological themes from The Epistle of Barnabas, Augustine’s Confessions, and Aquinas’ Summa Theologica. Barnabas presents Christ as the fulfillment of Old Testament typology, showing how the sacrifice of the red heifer prefigures Christ’s atoning work. Augustine continues his reflections on his youthful sins, delving into the motivations behind theft and the twisted nature of desiring evil for its own sake. Finally, Aquinas addresses whether we can name God, explaining how human language can describe God, even though no name fully captures His infinite essence.
Join us as we uncover how these foundational texts shape our understanding of Christ, sin, and the divine mystery of God’s nature.
