- Lecture 2: Catholic Christianity and the arrival of ascetism, 100-400
Counter-strands to silence in the early Church, encouraged by its congregational worship and cult of martyrdom, and the effect of gnostic Christianities in shaping what the emerging Catholic Church decided to emphasise or ignore.
The emergence of new positive theologies of silence: negative theology and its sources in the Platonic tradition; the development of asceticism in the mainstream Church in Syria from the second century, and its possible sources: the place of silence in the development of monasticism and eremetical life in Christianity.
The importance of the remaking of monasticism in Egypt; the vital role of a forgotten theologian, Evagrius Ponticus.
Recorded 24 April 2012 at St Cecilia's Hall, Edinburgh.
Excellent presentation. Got here by accident. Couldn't leave.
Amazing lecture thank you for posting.
He reads the text well...
I see myself as being a small part of the creator. So being a part of something much bigger than me and coming from it, like coming from the wound. I have 'it' already in me. I just had to search it out, connect and listen to 'it'. The whole truth that's in my heart I know is coming from something much bigger. And the feelings & knowledge I get from listening to 'it' I know and feel it with no doubt as being the truth, 100%. It took me a very long time to follow 'it' without doubt. I broke the fears that was told to me by many and now follow my own path to righteousness. I don't know what religion you would call it but I feel like my path in life, traveling to the divine, needs no label. Labels are put in place to separate. Just me.

Nobody should claim to be a Christian unless he is a Catholic. Protestants have rejected the Church which Christ has founded so in what sense are they Christian?
Even the Roman Catholic Church recognizes that the Protestants are Christians and that the baptisms celebrated in their ecclesial communities are valid. What rock have you been living under?
Dear Butterfly Beatles, if you should ever see a vacancy for a Tutor of Church History, or for that matter, Logic, my respectful advice would be, NOT to apply for it.
