When are these timeline videos going to be available. We're caught in the middle of Janet Soskice's Pt. 2 on Augustine, but can't fine any way to find out why these are not available. They are really good -so why aren't they available?

They are part of an online degree. You got to have money.

St. Augustine of Hippo “We must hold to the Christian religion and to communication in her Church, which is catholic and which is called catholic not only by her own members but even by all her enemies. For when heretics or the adherents of schisms talk about her, not among themselves but with strangers, willy-nilly they call her nothing else but Catholic. For they will not be understood unless they distinguish her by this name which the whole world employs in her regard” (The True Religion 7:12 [A.D. 390]). “We believe in the holy Church, that is, the Catholic Church; for heretics and schismatics call their own congregations churches. But heretics violate the faith itself by a false opinion about God; schismatics, however, withdraw from fraternal love by hostile separations, although they believe the same things we do. Consequently, neither heretics nor schismatics belong to the Catholic Church; not heretics, because the Church loves God, and not schismatics, because the Church loves neighbor” (Faith and Creed 10:21 [A.D. 393]). “If you should find someone who does not yet believe in the gospel, what would you [Mani] answer him when he says, ‘I do not believe’? Indeed, I would not believe in the gospel myself if the authority of the Catholic Church did not move me to do so” (ibid., 5:6). “There are many other things which most properly can keep me in her [the Catholic Church’s] bosom. The unanimity of peoples and nations keeps me here. Her authority, inaugurated in miracles, nourished by hope, augmented by love, and confirmed by her age, keeps me here. The succession of priests, from the very see of the apostle Peter, to whom the Lord, after his resurrection, gave the charge of feeding his sheep [John 21:15-17], up to the present episcopate, keeps me here. And last, the very name Catholic, which, not without reason, belongs to this Church alone, in the face of so many heretics, so much so that, although all heretics want to be called ‘Catholic,’ when a stranger inquires where the Catholic Church meets, none of the heretics would dare to point out his own basilica or house” (Against the Letter of Mani Called “The Foundation” 4:5 [A.D. 397]).

Interesting information. Thank you.

Augustine was born in my city

[@Albertanator]

That is real cool!!!

[@ortcutt]

"Oriental Religion"? Considering that nearly all of the founding texts of Christianity are in Greek, that seems like a strange inference.

[@csx3180]

because many berbers moved to rome,but again berbers are miditeranean not arabic

[@Alojzist]

"In Greek" is not the same as "European". It just says what the lingua franca of the day was. Likewise, a movement of today which would decide to put their manifests in English, should not necesarilly be called "American(-ist)" (English language being the undisputed lingua franca of today, now even more a product of the North-american cultural and political domination, than of Brittish imperialism, as it was at it's rise).

[@MirabelsMusicRoom]

For God's sake Jesus lived in Palestine! It only comes to us THROUGH Greek, which was translated from the hebrew, which was translated from aramaic which was translated from.....etc etc

[@MirabelsMusicRoom]

and in how many ways have those translations changed the core meanings of the words? it's like a grand game of chinese whisper. did Jesus walk on the water or by the water? In what ways have the prepositions been interpreted? the greek for 'on' and 'by' are the same and are generally to be determined by the context. happy thinking!

[@abrahamdecruz5128]

The lecturer is correct. Jesus was born and.lived in Palestine which was part of Asia minor. Hence Christianity's origin is Asian not European. It becomes European when the Roman's become Christian and promote it through their empire.
