Prior to the modern age, medieval Christendom largely saw itself as the culmination of a single, interconnected story, one which included Genesis and Homer, the Sibylline prophecies and the Arthurian legends. This approach to history reached its culmination in the “fullness of time,” the incarnation, birth, life, passion, and death of the Son of Man. In this talk, Dcn. Seraphim Richard Rohlin will make a case for this ancient, integrated approach to the story of Christendom, and argue that the compartmentalized approach which we have taken to the “Great Books” is neither Christian nor classical.
