Ron Dart - Contemplative Christianity and Classical Athenian Spirituality

 

Ron Dart - Q & A with Brad Jersak (see questions below video)

 

Brad's Questions:

1. The fallacy that Greek language and thought are abstractions (vis-a-vis contemplation integrated to ethical and political praxis).
2. The integration of Greek and Hebrew thought in Philo and the New Testament.
3. Misunderstandings about Greek thought applied to early church doctrine (contra the immutability of God's goodness and love).
4. Some great 20th century Christian Platonists (Charles Taylor, CS Lewis, George Grant, Simone Weil).
5. Progressivist Hegelian stumbles in Charles Taylor and Teilhard de Chardin.
6. Issues re: the Torrence brothers' critique of the Greeks.
