Ep. 115 - 'Paradise & Utopia - The Age of Paradise - Pt. 5' w/ Buck Johnson

Buck joins me again to resume our discussion of Paradise & Utopia - The Age of Paradise. Today we'll read Chapter four, and talk about the "heroic papacy" of the mid first millennium, and how subtle changes in theological attitudes and arguments lead to drastic outcomes. We'll talk about Leo the Great, Gregory the Great, Augustine, and heresies like Monothelitism.

I decided to omit a short portion of the chapter. As we were rolling along nicely on the historical topics, theres a short few pages that talk about Liturgical and calendrical worship. I'll address this section in a separate video that will be out early next week, only on YouTube.

As promised in the video, here are some useful links to further elaborate the particular points of discussion:
