John Vervaeke's video: Reverse Engineering Neoplatonism with Bishop Maximus

In this episode of our series with Bishop Maximus, Bishop describes entering the monastic tradition, the role of studying Greek philosophy had on his life, stoicism's resurgence, and the caution the Eastern Orthodox church uses when considering a change in tradition. Bishop Maximus (Marretta) is the Titular Bishop of Pelagonia, under the jurisdiction of the Holy Synod of the Genuine Orthodox Christians of Greece. He does missionary work in Latin America and Africa; and is the Superior of the Hermitage of St. Ignatius, a Spanish-speaking Orthodox monastery on a mountain by Santa Cruz Naranjo, Guatemala. He also gives classes and lectures in philosophy, theology, history, and languages at St. Photios Orthodox Theological Seminary in Etna, California.
