In this podcast, Dr Matthew Hoskin takes you through the history of Christian spirituality -- spiritual disciplines, liturgy, asceticism, mysticism, monks -- to talk about some of the important moments, figures, movement, texts, and teachings. We'll go through it all broadly chronologically, but with the freedom to move around a bit if other things come up.
