In our 51st episode of Church History, Pastor Lance explores the reclusive lives and legacies of the earliest hermits, monks and ascetics. We are taken on a journey through the maturation of these originally quite extreme practices, and meet the figures who came to shape and reshape its impact and trajectory. From the writings of Augustine of Hippo, to Jerome (who would later pen the Latin Vulgate), Simon Stylites the Elder, the Desert Fathers, and Benedict of Nursia - each story helps us understand the roots of traditions that would come to define this medieval period; and still influence many thousands of believers for centuries thereafter.
