Neoplatonism and the Bible with Dr. Andre Gazal
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.
