In this episode, our intrepid hosts talk to each other about their journeys as Orthodox academics and the backgrounds they bring to the conversation they are starting with the podcast.

Topics discussed include:

• Culture and community
• Authority
• Language
• Seeking the truth
• Different understandings of concepts and theories
• What do we really mean by terms like “the Church” and “Orthodoxy”?

Passing on

In order to understand our perspectives and background, each host recommended some reading material.
Lydia suggested “Religious Folklore,” by Larry Danielson as an introduction to how folklorists investigate religious subjects.
Kevin suggested the book Socrates Meets Jesus, by Peter Kreeft, which was the first book of philosophy he ever read, and set him off on the pursuit of Truth and Wisdom.
