Church history is our family history, and looking back so often helps us as we look forward.

So visit renewingyourmind.org, or use the link in the podcast show notes, and you'll have a valuable resource for personal study, for your homeschool, or for an extended small group study.

And if you live outside of the U.S.

and Canada, digital access to all 73 messages is waiting for you at renewingyourmind.org slash global.

Tomorrow, we'll continue the study of church history as Dr. Godfrey explores some of the theologies that came out of the Middle Ages and gives us perspective on many of the faith traditions we see today.

That'll be Friday here on Renewing Your Mind.

There's a tendency to refer to the Middle Ages as the Dark Ages.

That's so true, and I think many of us in the modern church, especially Reformed churches, have the impression that things kind of kicked off in 1517 with Martin Luther, and we failed to deeply study the history of God's work from the first century to the 21st century.

This is Renewing Your Mind on this Wednesday.

I'm Nathan W. Bingham, and we'll be spending three days looking back to grow in our understanding of our family history as Christians and to see what the Lord was doing in the world.

The messages you'll hear this week are from part two of W. Robert Godfrey's overview of church history.

in which he explores the hopes, challenges, triumphs, and tragedies of Christianity during the Middle Ages.

And when you respond today with a donation at renewingyourmind.org, we won't simply send you Part 2 of this monumental study series.

We'll send you Parts 1 through 6, all on DVD.

Plus, you'll receive digital access to all the messages and all six study guides.

All this to say thank you for supporting the daily outreach of Renewing Your Mind.

So what were the Middle Ages all about?

And why shouldn't we call them the Dark Ages?
