Hugh of St. Victor Cuts Spirit to Stone

Oct 30 2024 66 mins  
Jordan and Charles sail into the Victorines, that 12th-century community of theologians whose foundational work at St. Victor’s Abbey shaped Christian reading for centuries.

Jordan and Charles intro a new podcast by talking about their friendship, their conversions to Catholicism, their frustrations with easy historicism and easy dogmatism, and Blondel's clarion call to grasp both history and dogma under the auspices of a person who, they all three think, is the enfleshed Logos and the living ground of any meaningful concept of tradition.
