The Sower is a Podcast of the Ciceronian Society.The Ciceronian Society exists to equip and encourage Christian scholars to serve the church as a center of cultural and civic renewal.Through our events, publications, and podcasts we provide the space and opportunities that Protestant, Catholic, and Orthodox scholars need for professional growth and intellectual discipleship. Since 2012, we have been building a network of friends with a love for our core themes - tradition, place, and ‘things divine’ - and with a genuine commitment to the church and the life of the mind.
