In this episode of Chasing Leviathan, PJ and Dr. Andre Gazal discuss the exegetical work of the Renaissance humanist and theologian John Colet, particularly his reading of 1 Corinthians through the lens of Neoplatonism. Dr. Gazal uses Colet as a springboard into a broader and critical conversation on the relationship between philosophy and the interpretation of religious texts.

Who thinks that they can subdue Leviathan? Strength resides in its neck; dismay goes before it. When it rises up, the mighty are terrified. Nothing on earth is its equal. It is without fear. It looks down on all who are haughty; it is king over all who are proud.

These words inspired PJ Wehry to create Chasing Leviathan. Chasing Leviathan was born out of two ideals: that truth is worth pursuing but will never be subjugated, and the discipline of listening is one of the most important habits anyone can develop.

Every episode is a dialogue, a journey into the depths of a meaningful question explored through the lens of personal experience or professional expertise.
