In this study, we will discover the biblical foundations for the Church’s teachings which both lead to a worthy reception of the Eucharist and those teachings which flow from it—transforming not only how we receive, but how we live.

The Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer follows a group of pilgrims traveling from London to Canterbury Cathedral—telling each other stories along the way. Join their pilgrimage in the ICC Book Club.

Once the Roman Empire collapsed at the hands of pagan barbarians, Christianity - and western culture - could have been in grave danger of disappearing from the European continent during the “Dark Ages,” were it not for the “light” of monastic communi... more

  • Swords and Serpents

    I watched this study three times. Took so many excellent notes. This was by far the most concise and interactive study I have ever done. I binged it several times, and am now able to tell the story of salvation history, thanks to Fr Hezikiahs great method for memorization.

  • I want my Bible with me at all times now!

    I’m taking my time to go seriously through the Swords and Serpents Bible study. Now I want my Bible with me any where I go. Thank you Father Hezekias for this amazing study. I love the idea of reading the Bible with the idea of seeing the Tapestry of the story of salvation. I am learning so much and I am so excited.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Canterbury Tales
Q: What is Chaucer doing with the pagan setting of The Knight's Tale, and why is there tension with Christian themes?
The pagan setting in a Christian frame creates deliberate ambiguity; Chaucer uses it to raise questions about the coexistence of faith, reason, and desire, and to resist a tidy, fully Christian resolution, suggesting deeper complexities in truth and providence.
The Canterbury Tales
Q: Does he have a target audience?
His primary audience appears to be a literate London audience familiar with contemporary literary culture, while aware that future readers will remember him; he also includes playful jabs at other literary figures, balancing accessible storytelling with sophisticated intra-textual jokes.
The Canterbury Tales
Q: The question is, what was Chaucer's strategy in ordering the tales in the order that he did?
The ordering likely follows manuscript tradition, with the General Prologue leading to the Knight, then a deliberate disruption of hierarchy to include the Miller and other lower-status voices, and a progression toward later tales about marriage and poetry, though the exact rationale is debated among scholars.
Saving Civilization
Q: Given modern concerns about digital preservation and AI, should individuals cultivate personal libraries and how should we think about preserving knowledge now?
A balanced approach is best: maintain solid, archival-quality printed volumes while leveraging digital resources for access and broader reach. Citing printed pages helps ensure verifiability, and recognizing that digital media can be altered is important; thus, multiple preservation strategies including physical libraries, institutional archives, and responsible digitization are advisable.
Saving Civilization
Q: Literacy rates in the ancient world and the medieval period seem surprising; could you elaborate on how literacy actually varied and why monasteries became central to preserving texts?
Literacy was indeed uneven and regionally variable. In the Roman era it could be higher in urban centers, but after the collapse, urban life waned and literacy dropped in many areas. Monasteries stepped in to teach reading and preserve texts, providing schools and scriptoriums that kept classical and sacred works accessible for future generations.
