Summary

In this episode, we explore the life of St. Cyprian, a prominent figure in 3rd-century Carthage who became a bishop after a dramatic conversion and faced the Roman Empire's persecution of Christians. We discuss his influential work, 'On the Unity of the Church,' which argues for the indivisible nature of the church and remains a foundational text in Christian theology.
