Episode Synopsis

Myron and Martin reflect on the virtues of peacemaking and curiosity and discuss today's roadside attraction: a seminary in Wisconsin older than the state itself. They continue to study John Calvin and Thomas Aquinas, exploring how God reveals Himself through creation and truth."Those external accidents, which resemble things other than themselves, are said to be false with respect to those things; thus gall is falsely honey; and tin, false gold." —Summa Theologica, Prima Pars, Q1700:53 Opening Reflections: Blessed are the peacemakers04:31 Curiosity 16:26 Roadside Attractions: Nashotah House20:22 Rules of Civility: Six aims of conversation30:27 Institutes (1.5.13-15)38:54 Summa Theologica (Prima Pars, Q17)
