In this podcast, Dr Matthew Hoskin takes you through the history of Christian spirituality -- spiritual disciplines, liturgy, asceticism, mysticism, monks -- to talk about some of the important moments, figures, movement, texts, and teachings. We'll go through it all broadly chronologically, but with the freedom to move around a bit if other things come up.

What is it that makes a monk? What characterises the spirituality of the desert? What does singlemindedness look like? How are we meant to read the "Sayings" of the Desert Fa…

In this episode, I consider the character of Tertullian of Carthage (c. 155/60 - after 220). Accused of being a Montanist by later writers, Tertullian was the father of Latin Christianity, even referred to as "the Master" by St Cyprian. After considering his relationship to Montanism, I discuss some of my favourite passages from his treatise "On Pr…
