Between the Great Schism (the separation of Orthodox and Catholic churches in 1054 CE) and the Protestant Reformation (initiated by the Church of England separating from the Catholic Church in 1534 CE) lies the medieval period of Christian history. The Church was theologically and spiritually vibrant during this time, marked by the parallel developments of scholasticism and mysticism within the Catholic tradition.
The basic premise of this course is that modern society has not outgrown the lessons to be learned from this period of history. Exploring how medieval Christians lived—and applying their perspectives with care—can enrich our lives today.
