Ben and Paul venture into the desert to encounter the art of the Transcendental Painting Group and the Taos Society of Artists, just two of the under-appreciated groups who made the mystical landscapes of New Mexico their primary subject matter in the mid 20th century. Paul considers the poetic but largely unintelligible Desert Fathers, whose lives and words remind us that in the desert, there is no such thing as Orthodoxy. Then, Ben EPICALLY OWNS Thomas Aquinas with logic, while Paul gives St. Augustine something to cry about besides a couple lousy pears.
