We continue our conversation on Church History with LFBI professor and pastor of Crest Bible Church Greg Axe. This time we cover the Inquisition of the Medieval Roman Catholic Church around the 13th and 14th centuries. We address what “heretic” means and how that concept was re-interpreted by the Catholic authorities of the time. We learn their strategy for “purifying” Europe of those who fell outside the bounds of their religious dogma.

In this episode we continue our discussion on Church History with pastor Greg Axe. We begin with the medieval cultural conditions that set the stage for the crusades. We talk about a few key characters: Peter the Hermit, Godfrey of Buillon & Walter the Penniless. We conclude by addressing why the crusades never actually ended.
