In these lectures the highly esteemed Patrologist, Father Maximos, leads his students into a deep dive into the life and thought of this Holy Father first by unveiling the contours of St. Basil's life, and then by surveying the major aspects of his teaching and ministry. St. Basil of Caesaria, one of the Three Holy Hierarchs, is a foundational figure in the life of the Christian Church. His life and works have inspired and guided the faithful for almost 18 centuries.
