The Master and his Emissary

November 13, 2026 · 52 min

Show notes

This week Fr. CJ and Fr. John explore Iain McGilchrist's work "The Master and his Emissary," a study of the left and right hemispheres of the brain - and how they explain the modern world in which we find ourselves. Following an introduction to the key parts of the book, they move to apply it to the schools of theology, with the hope of arriving at a deeper coherence in the intellectual world of faith.
