This series was broadcast in 2000, twelve years after David Cayley's first interviews with Ivan Illich were presented on CBC's program "Ideas". Cayley and Illich had become friends in the meanwhile, and had spent as much time together as Illich's peripatetic style and Cayley's settled life in Toronto allowed. During that time they again and again discussed a theme that was barely present in the first series: Illich's idea that the Western civilization that grew out of Latin Christendom could only be fully grasped when understood as the corruption, or perversion of the New Testament. When it became clear that he would never be able, in the the time remaining to him, to write a book on this theme, Cayley offered to try and elicit his ideas in a series of interviews. These took place over a period of several weeks in 1996 and 1998 and were then broadcast on Ideas. Four years later, and two years after Illich's death in 2002, a complete transcription of these interviews was published, with a preface by Canadian philosopher Charles Taylor, under the title "The Rivers North of the Future: The Testament of Ivan Illich" (2005).

01:41:43 Part III - The way in which the sense of sight has changed under the influence of the Christian claim that Jesus was the image of God.
02:33:16 Part IV - The disintegration of cosmic fittedness and contingency into atomization as a perversion of Christianity
