Publisher's Description of Christendom: Medieval Mind DVD Set (Old Western Culture)

Christendom: The Medieval Mind begins by guiding students through the basics of Thomas Aquinas' Compendium, introducing students to the medieval mindset which greatly influenced later theologians and philosophers. With this foundation, students embark on a journey through Dante's conception of Hell, Purgatory, and Paradise in The Divine Comedy, exploring medieval concepts of guilt, atonement, beauty, and the cosmos. Meet many classical characters from the Greeks to Dante's present day as Dante uses his allegory to explore human nature, as well as the politics of his day.

Year 3: Christendom includes Medievals, Defending the Faith, the Medieval Mind and the Reformation.

Wish to streamline this course but still maintain enough rigor for a 1-credit course? If you’re not needing an honors-equivalent rigor, the publisher recommends the following as most crucial for study: The Rule of St. Benedict; Book of Pastoral Rule by Gregory the Great, Beowulf, Proslogium by Anselm of Canterbury; History of the Kings of Britain by Geoffrey of Monmouth; The Divine Comedy (ideally the full work. Read Inferno if you must choose one); The Knights Tale by Geoffrey Chaucer; Clericis Laicos and Unam Sanctam by Boniface the VIII; Julius Exclusus by Erasmus of Rotterdam; The Freedom of the Christian by Martin Luther; and selections of Foxe’s Book of Martyrs.
