Are we in the End-times?
It is an undeniable truth that we are closer to the end-times than we have ever been. Listen to Anslem of Canterbury in the 11thC discuss what this means for us today.
“Each person's recurring sin is like a tempest. When you love God, you walk on water, with the world's upheavals beneath your feet. But if you love the world, it engulfs you, as it tends to devour, not support, its enthusiasts.”
The Sermon Project’s Medieval Preachers Podcast features sermons from the 4th to the 15th century with preachers from Augustine and Aelfric, to Wulfstan and Wyclif in modern English, offering scripture introductions where relevant.

Let your light shine...but don't!

Join us on a profound journey as Augustine, the great Bishop of Hippo, guides us through this challenging question of reconciling these apparent contradictions.
