Description

In this episode, Brian Scarffe sits down with Evangelos Nikitopoulos to reconsider one of the most contested figures in Christian history: Saint Dionysius the Areopagite. Nikitopoulos unpacks the theological depth, historical reception, and unmistakable Christian Platonism of these writings, challenging the entrenched ‘pseudo’ label. Together, they explore the enduring influence of Dionysius on Christian mysticism, hierarchy, and metaphysics, reclaiming his place at the heart of the early Church.
