The YouTube videos below constitute a three-part series of lectures by Dr. Andrew Jones.
The lectures treat of Pope Innocent III and the ecumenical council he summoned, Lateran IV, which set about the difficult tasks of teaching orthodoxy, bringing about ecclesiastical reform, conquering heresy, and reclaiming the Holy Land. Dr. Jones speaks of all this as part of a medieval sacramental outlook on life that flows from “the quadraga,” or the four-fold sense of Holy Scripture that permeated the thinking of the age.
The lectures are fascinating, and moved me to write my latest Ad Rem: Recovering a Bright Medieval Vision for the Future.
