About this episode
Stephen Nichols discusses the significance of the year 401 in church history and Augustine's role in addressing church conflict.
Some years stand out in church history: 325, 1054, 1517. But the year 401 is more obscure. Today, Stephen Nichols takes us to a time when Augustine helped Christians in Carthage navigate conflict in the church and pressure from the world.
