A History of the Medieval Christian Church
By Vance Randolph
Narrated by Denis Daly
Vance Randolph (1892-1980) is best known today as an expert on Ozark folklore. He spent most of his adult life in the Ozarks and made a living by writing on sports and other issues.
This brief and lively pamphlet on the history of the medieval church is a concise and entertaining introduction to an extremely complex subject. Covering the period between the seventh century and 1500, the author provides succinct summaries of major developments like the Crusades, the growth of scholastic and mystical theology, the removal of the Papacy to Avignon, and the great councils convened to resolve the papal schism.
