No clue what he's blabbering about, but this is a pro-Barbarian account and we will ALWAYS stand for Barbarian rights against the tide of anti-Barbarian hate. We strongly DENOUNCE the ethnic cleansing of Barbaria. Follow and stay tuned for philosophy from a BARBARIAN perspective
There is a movement afoot on the online right to smash the notion of equal human dignity---and to normalize eugenic ideas and overt racial hatred and anti-Semitism. I call its adherents the Barbarian Right. I write about them for @TheFP today. thefp.com/p/pseudo-scholars-…

St. Pantaenus the Philosopher (L) of 200AD travelled to India where he reported that the Apostle Bartholomew (R) had preached the gospel in India. He even returned with a copy of the Gospel of Matthew, written in Hebrew, used by Bartholomew and preserved by local Christians.

There's a lot more going on here than meets the eye. It reveals a high level of Christian theological sophistication in the 2nd half of the 2nd century. It implies a doctrine of creatio ex nihilo & a theological exegesis of Plato's Parmenides—a hallmark of later Neoplatonism.

This passage also has some relation to arguments in the Divine Names of St. Dionysius the Areopagite. What did St. Pantaenus know?
