YouTube description
The devil is a rather taboo figure for discussion in today's world. But he was very important, and very real, in early Christian thought. In this episode, Rev. Gabrielle Thomas unpacks how the Cappadocians (including St. Macrina the Younger) grappled with the devil and his activities in her forthcoming book, The Problem of the Devil in Cappadocian Thought, and what they can contribute to contemporary theology.
