He provides background information on Augustine's life and the context in which City of God was written. Dr. Harmon explains Augustine's vision of history and the distinction between the City of God and the City of Man. He emphasizes the importance of ordered loves and how they lead to true happiness. Dr. Harmon also addresses the challenges of living as Christians in a pagan culture and the tension between pietism and obedience. He concludes by discussing Augustine's eschatology and the kingdom of God.TakeawaysAugustine's City of God provides a framework for understanding history and the Christian's role in the world.Ordered loves, rooted in the love of God, lead to true happiness and fulfillment.Living as Christians in a pagan culture requires discernment and a commitment to the values of the City of God.Augustine's eschatology offers hope and confidence in God's sovereign plan for the world.Chapters00:00 Introduction and Background03:04 Who is Augustine?06:44 Writing City of God10:49 Augustine's Vision of History12:44 The City of God and the City of Man15:52 Ordered Loves and Happiness18:26 Plato's Conception of the Real20:20 Living Differently as Christians22:22 The Vision of Love in a Pagan Culture28:47 Augustine's Eschatology and the Kingdom of God33:21 Addressing Modern Pagan Philosophies36:26 The Tension Between Pietism and ObedienceSupport the showSign up for the Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/chasedavisFollow Full Proof Theology on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/fullprooftheology/Follow Full Proof Theology on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/fullprooftheology/
Ivanka Demchuk - Icon Parallel cities collide, one earthly, the other heavenly, the present age, and the age to come.
Babel is the prototypical city of man: rebellious, prideful, exalting itself against God, and pursuing autonomy and self-sufficiency apart from him. Instead of filling the earth as God commanded, the Babelites settle in one place and try to make a name for themselves. We have capacity to do the exact same thing.

It's time for a big-picture look at Church history! Timothy S. Flanders joins the podcast to discuss his book City of God vs. City of Man: The Battles of the Church from Antiquity to the Present. The book is a synthesis of the approaches of St. Augustine and Christopher Dawson, whom Timothy calls the two greatest Catholic historians. Themes discussed include: The Hebrew (Old Testament) view of history The need for alliance between the "strict" and "moderate" parties of Catholic orthodoxy Ethnic pluralism in Christendom The Grand Coalition of the Status Quo The ideology of Roma and its role in the Eastern schism The love of money as a key factor in the breakdown of Christendom Links City of God vs. City of Man: The Battles of the Church from Antiquity to the Present https://www.amazon.com/City-God-vs-Man-Antiquity/dp/0578317346/ The Meaning of Catholic https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaMoKEEA-KKDNgx3icjA36Q Please consider donating at http://www.catholicculture.org/donate/audio Go to Catholic Culture's website for tons of written content, including news, articles, liturgical year info, and a vast library of documents: https://www.catholicculture.org
Sermon on Genesis 10:1-11:9 preached on April 2, 2023 by Nathan Lugbill.
Paul Axton preaches - The book of Philemon is a worked example of the implication of the gospel in that the slave/master relationship is displaced in the church by the koinonia of brothers and sisters. Yet this obvious implication of the gospel, worked out in Philemon, is rejected as is indicated in the reception of the book and the continuation of slavery among Christians. This may be because the implication of the gospel is a complete overturning of the city, the law, and the economy of the the city of man. Become a Patron!

In this episode of Author to Author, Patricia Hershwitzky, Ed.S., on her book Teaching the City of God in the City of Man (February 28, 2023)Teaching the City of God in the City of Man counters the lethally misleading pedagogy now infesting government schools but also shading many Catholic schools. From Aristotle to Aquinas to Augustine, to all the Early Church Fathers, the multitudes of prolific Saints, and simply wise witnesses over the centuries, this tome upholds objective truth, natural law, Divine Revelation and Will, the very cornerstones that built the model of Christendom. That evil has at times eroded the ground underneath has never touched the Rock itself. Moreover, there are great signs of renewal, and this work serves to complement those tremendous efforts. Still, much needs to be done.The secular world is awash with many worldly post graduate degree programs, some helpful but too many poisonous to the brain, heart, and soul of education which should be laser focused on preparing students to live and regenerate the good, true, and beautiful. Regressive citadels of power in government and therefore public school boards and systems threaten any Christian influence. Teaching the City of God in the City of Man is a sectional Primer developed to enable, empower and embolden all Catholic educators, including parents, to impart knowledge across all subject areas. Additionally, the Primer provides many tools and was designed to accommodate individual graduate coursework in potential 3-credit units, incorporating a plethora of sample lesson ideas and reliable reference materials. Written by a veteran Catholic educator who taught in both public and Catholic schools for twenty-three years, and principal at one Catholic school for five years, Teaching the City of God in the City of Man emphasizes the only credible mission of education to cultivate a spirit of responsible, loving, and contributory citizenship in this temporal life and attain eternal citizenship with Perfect Love in the next. The only means to fully accomplish this schooling is by integrating Faith, Hope, and Charity in all subjects and lessons implicitly and explicitly through the prism of Salvation History. It is the goal of Teaching the City of Cod in the City of Man to provide fresh facets in approaches, curriculum and instruction, and resources to complement the wonderful work already begun in the Classical education movement, teacher credential programs, and even Archdiocesan offerings. Even faithful Catholic teachers currently in the quagmire of public education can benefit. Of course, all of this must also be accomplished by recognizing and respecting the honorable and necessary objectives in various subject matter in reading, math, science, history, government, the arts, and even physical education. For all of these originated in God, the Creator, for our good and well-being. Ironically, it is the lower domain that has disfigured the inherent value of education in these areas. From the distortion of human events to the mutilation of individual dignity, contemporary studies discourage the mind and suffocate the soul. Catholic, which means universal, in its fullness, uplifts the heart towards Love and Truth, invigorates the mind and restores the soul.Teaching the City of God in The City of Man, scheduled for publication in the Spring of 2023, aims to be one more step in that direction. https://www.enroutebooksandmedia.com/cityofgod

Welcome to More Christ. We seek to bring some of the world's most interesting and insightful guests to discuss life's central and abiding questions. In this ninety fourth episode in a series of discussions, I'm joined by Dr Christopher Watkin. Chris is a Senior Lecturer in French Studies at Monash University, Melbourne, Australia. At its broadest, his research seeks to make sense of how people make sense of the world, and how they interact with ideas and positions different from their own. In his first book Phenomenology or Deconstruction? (2009) he explored the complex relationship between two major philosophical tendencies in the thought of Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Paul Ricoeur and Jean-Luc Nancy. Difficult Atheism (2011) then examined how three contemporary thinkers—Alain Badiou, Jean-Luc Nancy and Quentin Meillassoux—make sense of the world without the gods of metaphysics, poetry and religion, and how their three positions critique and refine each other. In French Philosophy Today: New Figures of the Human in Badiou, Meillassoux, Malabou, Serres and Latour he shifted the focus from God to a humanity, arguing that very different contemporary thinkers each rely on a ‘host' to make sense of the human, whether it be a capacity, substance or narrative. His later book, Michel Serres: Figures of Thought continues his investigation into different ways of making sense of the world by presenting the first systematic treatment in English of a key twentieth and twenty-first century philosopher whose genuinely cross-disciplinary work finds complex ‘North-West passages' between the sciences, humanities and arts. His latest book, Biblical Critical Theory, is the focus of our discussion and builds upon his previous endeavours in fascinating ways.

We are so prone to insulating ourselves with pride, arrogance, and countless other selfish and self-centered attachments. Over and over we build towers of human achievement – careers, financial successes, families – and congratulate ourselves on our accomplishments. But in the end, are we putting the right things at the center of our lives? Abraham […] The post City of Man appeared first on Rockpointe Community Church.

Genesis 11 (KJV 1900)11 And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech. 2 And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there. 3 And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them throughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for morter. 4 And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth. 5 And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded. 6 And the Lord said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. 7 Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech. 8 So the Lord scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city. 9 Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the Lord did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the Lord scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.

Those in authority are gifts from God that we'd probably give back if we could. Whether it's a boss or a policeman, a church leader or a family member, there is probably someone in your life you find it hard to submit to. In this series 'Remarkable Christianity,' Stephen shows us from Paul's letter to Titus why submission to authority is a testimony the world finds hard to ignore.

Living out this biblical tension W/ Michael Austin
Episode 43 of the David L. Gray Show - Voicing Truth and Reason - I thought we were living in just a post-Christian society, but, perhaps, I was being cautiously hopeful in calling that. What if this is just a post-Truth society where God is apparently dead? / Guest Timothy S. Flanders, creator of The Meaning of Catholic and the Editor of One Peter Five comes back on the show to converse about his new book, 'The City of God vs. The City of Man'. The post Voicing Truth and Reason – Episode 43 (The Apparent Death of God / Timothy Flanders ‘City of God vs. City of Man') first appeared on David L. Gray.
We are the people of God living in the city of man. The Bible describes us as aliens and strangers exiled in a foreign land. The question is, what does it mean to be the people of God in our time and this place? What does it mean to follow Jesus faithfully in a world that is increasingly hostile to our faith?These are questions addressed in the epistle of 1 Peter. To help prepare our hearts and minds for an extended study of this New Testament book, this message, we will explore the nature of our times and the special challenges and opportunities we face as the Church. This is a hopeful moment for us, but it's also a refining moment. Join us, as we seek the mind of Christ to navigate through this defining moment in history.
On the first Tuesday of November every other year, Americans have the opportunity to exercise our voice—and our vote—in the ongoing American experiment of democracy. Over the course of the last few years we’ve witnessed a heightening of the polarizing trends that have marked our electoral politics for the greater portion of the last two decades. The tone or the tension that marks our political discourse, I’m sure, turns off many voters. So how should we respond on Election Day 2018? As a Christian, my convictions are shaped by the great Christian theologian Augustine, who developed thought on our two citizenships—one to the City of God, one to the City of Man. There is much more that could be said about this, but—given the fact that we live in a democracy—our minimum obligations to the City of Man are that we vote. Make it a point to vote.
