Intro:

Hello and welcome to the Mystagogy podcast, offered as part of the Adult Faith Programs at Saint Stephen Martyr Church in Chesapeake, VA.

In a tradition dating back to the earliest centuries of Christianity, newly initiated believers were prepared for ongoing lives of faith through mystagogy, a period of formation designed to deepen their spiritual, liturgical and community life. Mystagogy is a Greek word which means "leading through the mysteries." 

 This program has been developed by Barbara Nicolosi Harrington, a university professor of screenwriting, cinema, Great Books and theology. 

This episode is a discussion of the three temptations of Christ through the lens of the Grand Inquisitor in Dostoevsky's Brothers Karamazov.
