episode although there will be some more episodes related to sh and sanism but we'll call this the finale as we tie up some loose ends on this episode of the podcast I'm going to be joined once again for the third time this series by Professor Matt goldish who is the Samuel and Esther Melton chair of history at the Ohio State University and we will be covering again some final aspects of sanism so thank you Professor Goldis for joining me once again thank you okay so let's start off with a question I think we we probably touched on it somewhat in the first two episodes we did together the first two episodes we did together but we discussed obviously people can listened back to the original episodes of chop until his conversion and then afterwards until his death and then a little bit we discussed some of the figures after his death but essentially I guess moving into the 18th century and at whatever time period it is what did it what was really going on everybody knows of obviously there's the famous IIT but there was many other was going was going after others there was there was a lot of heresy hunting and there was clearly this this perceived or was was clearly this this perceived or was this danger this grave Danger from this heresy um of sanism and satian theology so what exactly and I've got this question from listeners what exactly was going on over here so what's perceived is the danger uh comes from two different directions which are closely related to each other uh one has to do with the cabala of Nathan of Gaza and uh Abraham Miguel
