What happened AFTER the fall of the Roman empire in the West? Martin
Luther and Dr. Barnes do not come on stage for eleven hundred years! Those
eleven centuries hold the key to the how and why of many of our current
attitudes, customs, and legal and educational institutions. They offer
us students baffling periods of darkness and perplex questions about daily
life and social arrangements; but there are also great periods of artistic
and architectural creativity, of learning and new ideas, of inventions
and scientific discoveries, of geographic expansion. There is war, famine,
plague, death, corruption, torture, superstition, witchcraft (cf. today's
Charlotte Observer!), but they have a unique context in an age united in
one faith. |
