He was raised in a Christian home, but in time he rejected the faith of his mother, Monica.

And for about a decade, he lived essentially as a heretic and then later as a pagan.

Welcome back to Issues Cedar. I'm Todd Wilkin. Well, the church remembers Monica and her son

yesterday and today. We're going to be remembering them. Dr. Carl Beckwith joins us.

He's professor of historical theology at Concordia Theological Seminary, Fort Wayne, Indiana,

and author of the books, The Holy Trinity, and Hillary of Poitier on the Trinity.

Dr. Beckwith, welcome back.

Thank you. It's nice to be back.
