208 - Fr. Maximos Constas - The Relevance of St. Maximus the Confessor Today

Fr. Maximos Constas is Professor of Patristics and Orthodox Spirituality at the Holy Cross Greek Orthodox School of Theology. He is one of the most renowned scholars on St. Maximus the Confessor. He was a professor at Harvard and a monk for many years and is now the director at the Pappas Patristic Institute. In this interview we talk about St. Maximos the Confessor, seeing his work in perspective, connecting the visible with the invisible, the ascetic movement of liturgy, seeing through the lens of Scripture, the purpose of man and reconciling asceticism with art and imagination.
