I remember the old classic movie Westworld where robots functioned like slaves at the whims and entertainment pleasures of humans. There were three worlds created for man's entertainment. Westworld, medieval world, and future world. This movie ended with the robots killing the humans because of a computer virus. I loved this old classic sci-fi movie with Yul Brynner but I have always been enchanted by medieval world.
This vacation, Sandy and I went to 'Medieval Times' where we witnessed beautiful displays of horses, knights, jousts, and hand to hand sword combat. People cheered and chanted for their heroes of old that had come to life on the realistic stage in front on us.
Every vacation, I read a new book and this one happened to be Chris Armstrong new book "Medieval Wisdom for Modern Christians." An excellent book calling Christians back to the virtues, wisdom, and spiritual disciplines and medieval sacramental worldview that shaped many a friar, monk, mystic, and dessert fathers. Learning from both C. S. Lewis and reading books by Christians who lived during medieval times, can we once again recover a robust strong discipleship faith that changes everything rather than the shallow consumerist religion of our modern age?
