Customer Reviews
Great stuff.
This podcast is just plain good. Always earnest and insightful, with great guests.
Gnostic Fanatics
These two Gnostic fanatics scramble to explain away the over 100,000 words of ‘coincidences’ which I presented in Sacred Scroll of Seven Seals. I have repeatedly challenged these clowns to an on-air debate but my request has repeatedly fallen on deaf ears. It is time that the two smartest guys in the room get a good old-fashioned education. This was nothing more than a cheap shot too try and garner fans.
Intellectual and Spritual Growth
As a former student of Danny Anderson, I was excited to find his podcast. The classroom discussion that we had during his Kafka course helped to foster my love for literature. Although encompassing a wider range of topics, including pop culture and religion, the conversations on The Sectarian Review are reminiscent of those discussions. In order to awaken intellectually and spritually, one must question one's understandings and beliefes by examining them from different perspectives. The Sectarian Review is a wonderful platform to facilitate this awakening.
