Banning Ordeals, Duels, and Controlling Relics

The Middle Ages will see the continued development of the relationship between God and man. On today's episode, Rabbi Rocklin will discuss the following questions:

1. What role did church and religion play in the day-to-day life of the layman of the Middle Ages?
2. Why was religion as important for Jews as it was for Christians?
3. Why was medieval Christian scholarship so focused on theology, and why did the Church come down so hard on what it perceived as heresies?
