Summary
Dr. Tikon Pino discusses Saint Photius the Great's significant yet often overlooked role in Orthodox tradition, highlighting his vast scholarship, including the Bibliotheca, and his influence as a teacher and statesman. The interview particularly focuses on The Amphilochia, a newly translated work revealing Photius's unparalleled biblical exegesis, spiritual vision, and integrated approach to scripture within the Church's liturgical life. It also touches upon his complex relationship with Western church authorities and his lasting legacy as a pillar of Orthodoxy.Episode description
