"The Middle Ages"

“THE Middle Ages were not the ages of faith in the sense of unquestioning submission to authority and blind obedience. They were ages of spiritual struggle and social change, in which the existing situation was continually being modified by the reforming energy and the intellectual activity that were generated by the contact between the living stream of Christian tradition and the youthful peoples of the west.”

~Christopher Dawson: Medieval Essays. (1930)
