Unit 14: St. Gregory Palamas: An Introduction, Prof. Christopher Veniamin
Episode 4bis: Iconography & Knowledge of God through Prayer (Better Sound Quality)
Episode 4bis of “Gregory Palamas: An Introduction” is mainly an enhanced sound quality version of the original episode (with new title credits at the beginning, and an end card, plus an appeal for support tagged on at the end), which introduces the "Hesychast Controversy" of the 14th century in the declining decades of the Christian Roman Empire. What was Hesychasm really all about? And why is it still relevant to us today in the 21st century?
In this fourth part, we discuss the accusation of Iconoclasm leveled against the Hesychasts, and Prayer as the chief means by which knowledge of God is attained.
The main themes covered in this presentation are included in the Timestamps below.
Q&As related to Episode 4 available in The Professor’s Blog.
