Church History - Ep. 69: Medieval Mystics | Pastor Lance Ralston

About this sermon

Join Pastor Lance Ralston in this captivating 69th episode of Church History, as he dives into the rich interplay between Mysticism and Scholasticism in the medieval church. Far from being opposites, these two movements often overlapped in surprising ways—where reason met revelation, and logic danced with divine love. Explore how towering Scholastic thinkers like Anselm, Thomas Aquinas, and Bonaventure set the stage and influence for Mystics such as Bernard of Clairvaux, Hugh and Richard of St. Victor, and Joachim of Fiore, believers who displayed striking theological clarity. Discover the vibrant spiritual life that blossomed in monasteries and convents like Clairvaux and St. Victor, where fervent hymns and visions shaped the soul of medieval Christianity. You'll also meet remarkable women like Hildegard of Bingen, Elizabeth of Schoenau, and Catherine of Siena, whose mystical insights continue to inspire believers today.
