Carl and Todd welcome Yannick Imbert and Iain Wright to discuss their new book, Reclaiming the Dark Ages: How the Gospel Light Shone from 500 to 1500. An often overlooked period, Yannick and Iain challenge the notion of the "Dark Ages" by highlighting key Christian figures and their contributions to church history including Leo the Great, Anselm of Canterbury, and Jan Hus. 

We wanted to take a selection of church leaders across that thousand years...to show that God was not sitting on his hands for a thousand years. – Iain Wright

Discover how God’s work continued throughout this millennium and why these historical insights are relevant today. Whether you're a history enthusiast or new to church history, this episode offers a captivating exploration of faith across centuries.

Even we who are decidedly Reformed can actually acknowledge that there were Christians prior to the 16th century. – Carl Trueman

Thanks to the generosity of Christian Focus Publications, we are pleased to offer three copies of Yannick and Iain’s book to our listeners. Enter here for the opportunity to win one.
