On the Human Condition, Q&A

Brandon, Andrea, and Patty return to St. Basil The Great's On the Human Condition. This episode deviates a little from the homilies we have discussed so far. The end of the collection is a short letter in response to Bishop Amphilochius, a student of St. Basil, and selections from his Long Rules relevant to the topic of the Human Condition. Many of the previous themes are revisited and fleshed out in their application to the living Christian community.
