San Agustín de Hipona (354-430) es uno de los representantes más reconocidos en la historia de la teología.

Su autobiografía espiritual y reflexiones filosóficas se reúnen en el libro Las Confesiones de San Agustín, el cual relata desde sus primeras peregrinaciones hasta su conversión al cristianismo. Para el autor de estas bellas páginas, el origen del bien y el mal en el hombre se encuentra en su conciencia, y solo al ingresar en ella podrá alcanzar la realidad suprema de la verdad.

It’s 2006. After a string of rejections from men who tell her they could never, ever, ever see her “that way,” awkward third-grade teacher Micaela Blei signs up for a mysterious course called “The Divine Feminine,” and feels like she might have found the key to the perfect life. Turns out if you’re an A student, you can get an A in anything–including men. Pretty soon she’s learning to "conjure" her desires with vision boards, flirtations, and even a daring jumbotron viewing party for her, ahem ... "divine center."

Prosecutors charged Robert “Bobby” Crimo III with the mass shooting. But this attack was part of something even more insidious.

Story
You can’t truly understand the last decade of the 20th century without a look at the muddy, electrifying rock music that would come to define it: grunge. For such a short-lived genre—at least in the mainstream—grunge had a lasting impact on American music and culture. It also provides a unique lens through which to examine the post-Reagan, pre-internet America of the 1990s. In the six lectures of The Story of Grunge, you’ll explore the rise and evolution of the genre, tracing it from Seattle subculture to MTV and the Billboard charts, all the way to its decline and evolution into new forms.
