New Humanism or Medieval Period: Part I (A Christian Survey of World History)

What if the so-called “Dark Ages” weren’t so dark after all? In this thought-provoking lecture, R.J. Rushdoony takes us on a sweeping journey through the early medieval world—from the collapse of Rome to the birth of a distinctly Christian civilization. With powerful insights into the role of monks, the transformation of savage tribes, and the deeply practical Christian ethos that shaped everyday life, Rushdoony challenges modern myths and reveals a forgotten vitality of faith. This episode is a reminder that even in times of chaos, the Kingdom of God quietly builds through faithful men and women.
