Rediscovering The Guilds That Built Christendom: An Interview with Dr. George Grant

Send us a text!As we discuss in today’s episode—which features an interview with Dr. George Grant—the 5th through 9th centuries were marked by Guilds of Learning, which were the melding of craftsmanship with covenant succession. A student spent an entire lifetime being shaped by a master, who helped them become immersed in whatever trade they had taken up.As a result, “artists” saw themselves as workmen, and spent a lifetime honing their craft. None of this could have been possible without the emergence of a Christian education that shaped every facet of life. Da Vinci, for example, knew five languages, studied vastly, and created works of art and science that would still be wildly acclaimed centuries later. A more modern product of Christendom’s genius could be found in someone else we discuss in this episode: J.R.R. Tolkien. So join us today in the King’s Hall, as we discuss the importance of Christendom, guilds, and the heights of artistic and cultural development brought about by a distinctly Christian culture and people.Did you know supporters of the show get ad-free video and audio episodes delivered early and access to our patron exclusive After Hours?https://www.patreon.com/thekingshallTalk to Joe Garrisi about managing your wealth with Backwards Planning Financial.https://www.northwesternmutual.com/financial/advisor/joe-garrisi/planning 10 Ways to Make Money with Your MAXX-D Trailer.https://maxxdtrailers.com/10-ways-to-make-money-with-your-trailerVisit KeepwisePartners.com or call Derrick Taylor at 781-680-8000 to schedule a free consultation.https://keepwise.partners/Visit Muzzle-Loaders.com and get 10% off your first order when you use the coupon code KINGSHALL at checkout.https://muzzle-loaders.com/Buy your beef or pork box today from Salt and Strings Butchery.https://www.saltandstrings.com/Book your free consultation with Boniface Business today at https://bonifacebusiness.comVisit Mid State Accounting where your growth becomes your legacy: https://www.midstateaccounting.net/Your trusted data and technology partner.
