Logos Rising: Part Two with Patrick Coffin
/This rounds out a two-part series on the profound implications and global scope of Jones’ 800+ page Logos Rising: The History of Ultimate Reality. In the first episode, we covered from creation up to the Incarnation of the Logos Himself, Jesus Christ.
In Part Two, we hit the high spots from the early Church and St. Paul, up to the “death and burial’ of Thomism (the study and application of St. Thomas Aquinas to philosophical errors and other problems) in America at Notre Dame University.
In this episode you will learn
