E38 Dr Justin Sledge

Sunday Feb 21, 2021
In this episode we had the wonderful opportunity to speak with Dr Justin Sledge about the complex matrix of Judaisms in classical antiquity.
Out of this matrix we get movements such as Gnosticism, Christianity, Samaritanism, the Essenes and the Mandeans to name just a few. To say the Jewish impact on religious belief and spiritual practice in antiquity was significant would be a huge understatement.

E37 The Parmenides with Greg Shaw and Edward Butler
Thursday Jan 21, 2021
Thursday Jan 21, 2021
In this episode we had the good fortune to be able to exchange ideas with two of our most popular former guests, the brilliant Gregory Shaw and Edward Butler. What better subject to talk about than the Parmenides, perhaps the most difficult of Plato's dialogs. Of course it is no surprise that we tackled some really heavy topics, most notably, the One that is not. We also explore the interaction of polytheism and monotheism, the function and nature of the henads, as well as whatever else seemed interesting at the time.
