Intelligence moved by love: Thecla as philosopher with Dawn LaValle Norman

“Thecla shows us how women could be important models, not only insofar as they overcame their femininity, but in their femininity, as models for men and women.” – Dawn LaValle Norman

Welcome to In Search Of, a podcast where we go in search of voices and perspectives that inform and expand a life of faith. This week, we hear the story of Thecla, an early Christian philosopher. Dawn LaValle Norman tells us about  Thecla’s adventures–including carnivorous seals, and an all-female symposium–and the world of women philosophers in the first few centuries. Find out how Thecla flipped philosophy on its head on this episode of In Search Of.
