S5E14 - The Call of Wonder
Episode 303
In this episode Chris interviews author Brian Cranely about his new book 'The Call of Wonder'. Brian studied biomedical engineering and built a career in the field before heeding the call of wonder, which put is professional career on hold in favor of divinity school where we received his graduate degree along with a heaping helping of philosophy! Brian's unique background, weighted equally in the domains of science and religion, inspired the message which became 'The Call of Wonder.' We discuss the key discoveries of ancient Greek philosophy, which , through logic and reason alone, brought such figures as Plato and Aristotle right to the precipice of monotheistic revelation. We touch on the impact of Greek philosophy on the early development of Christianity and on the medieval scholastic tradition, which succeeded in synthesizing them. And finally, we reach deeply into the speculative, discussing the Biblical 'Image of God' and how it can be seen reflected fractally in each of the great unexplained mysteries of science--the origin of the cosmos, of life and of the psyche.
