In this episode we continue our discussion on the crusades with pastor Greg Axe the LFBI professor of Church History. We see how Augustine's City of God laid the doctrinal foundation of Roman Catholic rules for "holy war," along with modern-day ramifications of this ensuing doctrine. We briefly look into the lives of men & boys of the crusades like Bernard of Clairvaux, Saladin, Richard the Lionheart, Stephen of Cloyes & Nicholas of Cologne. Lastly, we consider the horrific Children's Crusade in which 30,000 children marched to their death or enslavement just before another 20,000 did the same.

In this first of three episodes on the Dark Ages Pastor Greg Axe of Crest Bible Church continues with us on the topic of Church History.

We begin at about the 5th century with Pope Innocent I who claimed universal dominion for The Bishop of Rome. We then look at Pope Leo the Great’s claim to channel Peter the Apostle. Leo's religiopolitical position contributed greatly to the rise of Papal Authority.

In Episode 3 we interview Pastor Greg Axe of Crest Bible Church and professor of Church History and Eschatology at Living Faith Bible Institute. In this episode Greg and Brandon discuss early church fathers, Roman power, gnosticism and docetism.
