Between the season Bonus Episode. A History of The Christian Church (Part 37) Bernard of Clairvaux.
Description
A Taster Episode from my "History of The Christian Church Podcast". 2000 years of Christian thought told through the ideas of its greatest thinkers....
This is my latest episode: No 37. Episode, Season 3 - The Medieval Church - Episode 9.
Welcome:
What happens when the church becomes too clever? What happens when faith is no longer something to be lived, but something to be analysed? That is the world we stepped into with Peter Abelard in our last episode.
But not everyone welcomed that change, because, amid that rising tide of intellectual confidence, another voice began to speak. His name was Bernard of Clairvaux. And these two worldviews would collide. The world of the philosopher…. and the world of the monk.
Their conflict would not just shape their own lives, but it would shape the direction of medieval theology itself. And this still matters because, at its core, this is not just a story about the twelfth century. It is a story about every generation of the church.
So, join me in today’s episode…. As we step into the life, the passion, and the fierce convictions of Bernard of Clairvaux.
The man who stood against the rising tide of intellectualism and called the church back to what, well, maybe to the heart of the Christian faith.
