Document Summary
Book 3: augustine hits low point in relationship with god, regrets having attended tragedies, immersion in fictional suffering, tragedy encourages a love of suffering , manichaeism, refers to someone who sees the world as a struggle between good + evil, through an ongoing process which takes place in human history, light is gradually removed from the world of matter and returned to the world of light from which it came, manicheans claimed that god was a substance that is to say, spatially extended. Book 5: nothing is inherently evil, augustine meets faustus in carthage, respected sage of the manichees, faustus is no help at all; leaves with more doubts than ever about manichaeism, leaves manicheanism, one remaining obstacle to belief is imagery of god as a physical mass or ghostly substance; lacked concept of a spiritual substance.
