The Bible Project Daily Podcast Gregory the Great - Shepherd of a Collapsing World. (Bonus Episode)
This is the fourth of five bonus episodes I shall be releasing this week. This is the latest episode of My 'History of the Christian Church' Podcast.
When Gregory the Great became bishop of Rome at the end of the sixth century, the Western world was pretty much in ruins and standing on the edge of an era that would become known as the Dark Ages. The Roman Empire in the West had collapsed. Cities were crumbling. Plagues swept through the population. Invasions came not in isolation, but in waves. Civil authority was weak, unreliable, and sometimes absent altogether. And into that chaos stepped Gregory. He never sought power. Gregory preferred the quiet life of a monk to the burden of public leadership. Yet history would remember him as one of the most influential figures of the early medieval Church—the man who more than any other bridged the ancient world and the medieval West.
