In this episode: an interesting historical episode relating to the “Athanasian Creed.” It makes a grown man cry.
This creed really “starts up” Christian philosophers; surely, a distinction here, a distinction there, and the appearance of contradiction can be chased away. But, our efforts are not always appreciated, as Abelard learns in the year 1121.
This episode incorporates part of Abelard’s famous History of My Calamities. Thanks to my colleague B. for voicing Abelard.
