(Between the Seasons Bonus Episode - Philosophy) Socrates and the Seeds of Christianity.

Welcome to a special bonus episode. 

I shall be posting several bonus episodes over the next week or so whilst I work on our next season together, in which I return to the New Testament and begin our study through Paul's 2nd letter to the church at Corinth. 

In this episode, we are reposting an episode I originally posted on 10th November 2024,  one of a series on ancient philosophy and its influence on the early Christian worldview. In it, I examine how the life and teachings of Socrates, one of history's most iconic philosophers, laid the groundwork for the reception and dissemination of the Christian message. I examine the early Greek Pre-Socratic philosophers and Sophists, as well as the transformative impact of Socrates, and the pivotal role of 1st-century Rome and the Pax Romana in the rise of Christianity. The aim of this episode is to offer insights into the historical and philosophical context that shaped the world in which Christianity emerged.

I hope you enjoy it.
