See how the thread of orthodoxy runs throughout the history of the church – even in the thousand years known as the “Dark Ages”. If you study church history closely, you will see that there is a continuous thread of faithful, glorifying theology that gives God due honour, that takes Scripture as the principal authority over life and faith, and that nourishes our wonder and worship. Despite its somewhat derogatory name, we can see that the light of the gospel was by no means extinguished in the millennium between 500 and 1500. Iain Wright and Yannick Imbert outline the story of this time through the lives of ten key figures of the Medieval Church: Leo the Great (400–461)Boethius (476–524)Alcuin (735–804)Gottschalk (814–868)Anselm of Canterbury (1033–1109)Bernard of Clairvaux (1090–1153)Peter Waldo (1140–1205)Bonaventure(1221–1274)John Wycliffe (1320–1384)Jan Hus(1372–1415) Chronicles 1,000 Years of Orthodox Theology: see God’s providence in the faithful teaching of truth throughout history Meet Key Historical Figures: some well–known, some less so, all in their place and time Written for a wide audience: non–academic writing style makes this a great read for anyone interested in history

Tolkien is one of our most beloved fantasy writers. Such was the power of his imagination that much has been written on his invented world, languages, and myth. This book is an invitation to tread the paths of Tolkien's realm, exploring three regions of his work: language, myth, and imagination. We will be looking for a path leading to a summit from where we can view Tolkien's whole realm. Yannick Imbert argues that we can gain such a view only if we understand Tolkien's philosophical theology, his Thomism. To attain this vantage point and better understand the genius of his Middle Earth, readers journey with Tolkien through his academic, personal, and theological milieu, which together formed his Thomistic imagination.
