About this episode
Featured text: "The Stromata" — Clement of Alexandria
You're not making Christianity better; you're making Stoicism worse. Gillespie and Riley continue their discussion of free will and predestination by reading Clement of Alexandria. Where does the doctrine of free will originate? What happens when a Christian blends biblical theology and philosophy? Why doesn't Riley like Star Wars sermons?
Text: Writings of Clement of Alexandria
