Christendom: The Medieval Mind Reader was designed to complement the course of study for Christendom: The Medieval Mind DVD, a unit in the Old Western Culture curriculum. Includes an abridgement of the Compendium by Thomas Aquinas, and the entire Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri.
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 classic 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.

Christendom: The Reformation:Post Tenebras Lux, introduces students to the great minds of the Reformation: John Calvin, Martin Luther, Thomas Cranmer, and Erasmus. But a study of this tumultuous period of history would be sorely lacking without a thorough understanding of the historical setting of the Reformation. Wesley Callihan and Dr. Chris Schlect team up to lay a solid foundation for understanding the origins and struggles of the Reformation, as well as its theology and influence. Students will read part of Calvin’s Institutes of the Christian Religion, as well as Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales and Spenser’s Faerie Queene.
