St. Basil and the Pagans

Myths, legends, and lore are part of Christian tradition. Historically, Christians read and used even the mythology of paganism. In this inaugural episode of The Great Tales, Fr. Andrew and Richard discuss what St. Basil the Great has to teach us about reading pagan myth.

Om Podcasten

Myth, legend, and story communicate history, meaning, identity, and the highest truths about both the seen and unseen world. Both ancient Israel and the Christian Church recorded, preserved, rewrote, commented on, and found edification in the great, epic tales (as well as the lesser ones), whether they originated inside or outside the people of God. Join Fr. Andrew Stephen Damick and Dcn. Seraphim Richard Rohlin as together they read the great tales.
