    96 - Introduction to the Bible
    Jul 8 2025
    What is the Bible, really, and how do we read it? How can we say that the Bible is both the Word of God and the work of human authors? What should we do when we come across a tricky passage that we don't know how to interpret? Welcome to our next deep dive! In these next few episodes, we'll unpack some of the most common questions about the Bible, and lay a foundation for how to approach it as Catholics. ⁠Donate via PayPal⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support us on Patreon!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Contact the podcast: crashcoursecatholicism@gmail.com.Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/crashcoursecatholicism/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠References and further reading/listening/viewing:Catechism of the Catholic Church, pts. 101-141Dogmatic Constitution on Divine Revelation, Dei VerbumBenedict XVI, Verbum DominiThe Catholic Encyclopedia, "Bible"Scott Hahn, ⁠Tools for Bible StudyMark Shea, The Catholic Weekly: The Four Senses of Scripture: The Literal SenseThe Four Senses of Scripture: The Allegorical SenseThe Four Senses of Scripture: Part 3 The Moral Sense of ScriptureThe Four Senses of Scripture: Part 4 The Anagogical Sense of ScriptureCatholic Answers:We’re Not a ‘Religion of the Book’One Text, Four SensesHow to Read the BibleHow to Read the Bible as a CatholicFiguring out the Bible?United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, Understanding the BibleAscension Presents:Ways to Read the BibleHow to Start Reading the Bible in 10 StepsPeter Kreeft, ⁠You Can Understand the Bible⁠The St Paul CentreBishop Barron, Bishop Barron on How to Read the BibleThe Great Adventure BibleIgnatius Study BibleThe Navarre BibleLife Teen, Do You Want to Start Reading the Bible?

  • 95 - St. Augustine: Convert, Sinner, Saint.

    95 - St. Augustine: Convert, Sinner, Saint.
    Jun 24 2025

    To wrap up our deep dive into the existence of God, in this episode we take a look at the life of St Augustine.

    St. Augustine is a doctor of the church, and one of the greatest saints in the history of Christianity. But before his conversion, he spent his youth struggling with sin, heresy, vanity, and lust. He was the product of a culture that celebrated male sexual exploits as a sign of status and masculinity, and he felt that happiness was not possible for him without the freedom to satisfy his sexual appetites.

    Although he was gifted and educated, and sincerely sought the Truth, Augustine's attachment to sin got in the way of a personal relationship with God. It took many years, and a lot of prayers and support from his mother and his friends, before he was able to reconcile himself to the Christian faith. Augustine struggled with many of the questions that people grapple with today: if God exists, why is there evil in the world? How can God say he loves us when he makes us suffer? Is chastity compatible with happiness?

    Although Augustine lived 1600 years ago, his story is strikingly modern. His life demonstrates to us that God can always work miracles, and that it is never too late to turn back to him.

    "The fact that people's religion tends to align with the culture and country that they grew up in shows that religion is just a cultural construct""There are so many hypocritical people who have used religion to abuse others, to start wars, or to seek power. These people undermine the validity of religion.""We no longer need God; science explains everything we need to know.""If God exists, then why is there so much suffering and evil in the world?"In this episode, we wrap up our discussion of objections to belief in God. ⁠Donate via PayPal⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support us on Patreon!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Contact the podcast: crashcoursecatholicism@gmail.com.Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/crashcoursecatholicism/⁠⁠⁠References and further reading/listening/viewing:Pew Research Center, The Global Religious LandscapeSt. Thomas Aquinas, The Summa Theologiae, 1.2Trent Horn, Answering Atheism National Catholic Register, Does God Want Everyone to Be Catholic?The Problem of Evil: Actually, It's ComplicatedCatholic Answers:Christian HypocrisyAre You a Hypocrite?How can the Church be true when it produces hypocrisy?How to Answer the Problem of EvilThe Problem of EvilFr Mike Schmitz, "Judgmental, Bigoted, Homophobic, Elitist, and Hypocritical" (The World’s Perception of Christians)Are All Catholics Hypocrites?Augustine of Hippo: God Enlarges the Capacity of Our Soul that He may Fill Us with His PresenceG.K.
