Context Matters

Medieval Christianity

Episode Summary

Dr. Grace Hamman is a Medievalist who has written a book called Jesus through Medieval Eyes. Since I know very little about Christianity during this time period and in this geographical region, it was a privilege to talk to an expert who could take me through the context.

Episode Notes

How does medieval history teach us more about Christianity? We get a glimpse into the past with in this week's episode with Dr. Grace Hamman. Dr. Hamman is a medievalist who specializes in Middle English. She has a new book called Jesus Through Medieval Eyes. She also hosts a podcast called Old Books with Grace. We have hosted a couple of episodes around the context of the split between the Eastern and Western Churches, but this week we get to talk about how the context of the western, European church influenced how the church talked about Jesus.
