Kyriacos C. Markides, Ph.D. in Sociology and Professor Emeritus at the University of Maine, is author of many books, including Magus of Strovolos, Homage to the Sun, Fire in the Heart, Riding with the Lion, Mountain of Silence, Gifts of the Desert, Inner River: A Pilgrimage to the Heart of Christian Spirituality, and most recently, The Accidental Immigrant: A Quest for Spirit in a Skeptical Age. In this lively Hieros Institute conversation with Dr. Arthur Versluis, Dr. Markides discusses how he became a “skeptic of skepticism,” and provides a contemporary overview of and perspective on the remarkable figures about whom he has written and whom he has known, as well as some guidance for those who feel called to explore an Orthodox spiritual path.
