Listen "The Klappvisier Principle"
Episode Synopsis
Myron and Martin return to the topic of growth in knowledge and curiosity and discuss dining etiquette. In today’s readings, Aquinas wrestles with the ineffable mystery of the Trinity, while Calvin highlights how Scripture’s long-fulfilled promises reveal its divine authorship."When David is anointed by Samuel, what apparent ground is there for the transference? Who could have looked for a king out of the plebeian family of a herdsman? And out of seven brothers, who could have thought that the honour was destined for the youngest?"—Institutes, 1.8.701:43 Opening Reflections: The Klappvisier Principle23:36 Roadside Attractions: The Iron Door, estd. 185231:12 Rules of Civility: Rules for Food & Drink53:25 Summa Theologica (Prima Pars, Q40–43)59:23 Institutes (1.8.6–7)
