The Inner Altar: Exploring Patristic Spirituality

The Inner Altar: Exploring Patristic Spirituality The Inner Altar: Exploring Patristic Spirituality Description: Welcome to st shenouda podcast on our 4th season discussing The Inner Altar, dedicated to exploring the depths of Orthodox spirituality and the foundational teachings of the Church Fathers. This series delves into Patristics, the study of early Christian theologians from the first to the eighth centuries who defended the faith and established the intellectual landscape of Christianity. We journey beyond mere academic study to discover the "heart," which the sources describe as the spiritual centre of the human person and the inner altar where one truly meets God. In each episode, we examine the human being as a psychosomatic unity—a complete integration of body and soul where the soul permeates and enlivens every part of the physical frame.
