Iain Wright and Yannick Imbert - Reclaiming the “Dark Ages”

"In Reclaiming the ‘Dark Ages’: How the Gospel Light Shone from 500–1500 (Christian Focus), authors Iain Wright and Yannick Imbert challenge the popular Protestant perception of the Middle Ages as a period of spiritual darkness and theological decay. They argue that this millennium was not devoid of Christian influence and that it produced many significant and influential Christian thinkers. Wright and Imbert join us to present a more nuanced view of the medieval period, highlighting the spiritual and theological contributions of figures such as Bernard of Clairvaux, Anselm of Canterbury, and John Wycliffe, among others. They emphasize the continuity of orthodox Christian theology and the guiding hand of providence throughout this era, urging modern Christians to appreciate the historical richness and spiritual insights of the Middle Ages. Iain Wright is pastor of Covenant OPC, Orland Park, Illinois. Yannick Imbert holds the William Edgar Chair of Apologetics at Faculté Jean Calvin, Aix–en–Provence, southern France. He also serves on the theological committee of the National Council of French Evangelicals. 00:07 Introduction 06:01 Thinking about the Middle Ages 15:24 Reconsidering the Middle Ages 21:57 Selecting the Theologians to Include in the Book 27:24 Anselm of Canterbury 36:19 Peter Waldo, John Wycliffe, and Jan Hus 42:10 Lessons for the Church Today 46:42 Conclusion " from the video introduction
