Mark Chenoweth is a theologian with a particular interest in St. Maximus the Confessor (700 AD) and St. Gregory of Nyssa (400 AD) who wrote about life on earth as a goal-directed process as opposed to a series of divine miracles. Their ideas were very much in line with the ancient Greeks who have been greatly under-estimated by modern thinkers. Here we hear Mark's story of being drawn into evolutionary science and what implications this has for modern people. 

Mark's paper is called "A Maximian Framework for Understanding Evolution".
