United States2 years ago - A Worthy Meta Narrative
It seems to me that we all carry meta narratives around with us but often we do so unconsciously and do not have careful justification for them.
Fr. John has here articulated his own with clarity and voluminous support. There are those who nitpick at this work by saying “its more complicated than that.” I challenge those critics. The only legitimate critique of a meta narrative is to create a better one. Hearing none I provisionally accept this.

Father John, thank you for this podcast. It is the second Orthodox podcast series on Christian history I will listen to as I journey home. I may elaborate here once finished. I found one flaw in the 2nd or 3rd episode, a clipping of your voice which made it difficult at times to clearly hear important words. It would be best to rerecord that one. Later… no further voice clipping. I’m learning so much from your very clear teaching. Thank you very much!

Strickland's podcast, in companionship with his two recent books, has been a crucial eye-opener to the history of Europe over the last two thousand years. Both for understanding the nature of Christendom during the first millenium, and the degree to which Christendom changed after the Schism in 1054, with the New Papacy. Highly recommended!
