Title: A must-read on our heritage
Product review: A must-read for all Christians who share the heritage of the medieval Church. Too often we concede the field without a fight when accused of perpetuating an ignorant Dark Age that held sway until the "enlightenment" of the secular "Age of Reason." This book presents an easy to read overview of how the Church preserved knowledge following the destruction of the Empire at the hands of the Barbarians, and then proceeded to build upon that knowledge through the High Middle Ages, ultimately setting the stage for the birth of the Scientific Method. The text contains numerous citations for the inquiring mind that wants more detail about any particular passage. This book fills in many gaps in a public school education and clearly makes the case that Western Civilization developed because of, rather than in spite of, the contributions of the scholars and doctors of the Church.
