28 June— Scott Rassbach: Presentation, Greek Monasticism & Hesychasm

The Current Greek Religion series is wrapping up with Scott Rassbach's presentation on Hesychasm, Greek Monasticism, and Esoteric Connections. When we in America think of Christianity, we often think of fundamentalist preachers talking about how you're going to hell if you don't toe the line. But there is a much older, ascetic tradition that has more in common with yoga, Egyptian mysticism, and Neo-platonic cosmology. We'll cover a little geography, a little sexism, Neoplatonism, Sufism, Yoga, the Devil, mysticism, transcendence, and a conception of God and salvation that is quite different from what we usually hear about in the West. (Note that this is the fourth rather than our usual third Thursday date, to avoid Solstice conflicts.)
