Saint Basil the Great (second look)

Jim John Marks did a guest episode on Saint Basil the Great last year - this year I give my own take on him.Saint Basil the Great (also known as Saint Basil of Caesarea) was a fourth century bishop and theologian - one of the most important theologians of the church. He is declared a doctor of the church in the west, and one of the three Holy Hierarchs in the East. Basil was bishop during a time when the Arian heresy was very powerful, so a lot of his writings clarify the relationship between the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. He is also known for his teachings on social justice and care for the poor. The Christian Saints Podcast is a joint production of Generative sounds & Paradosis Pavilion.
