Reclaiming the “Dark Ages”
How the Gospel Light Shone from 500 to 1500
Iain Wright and Yannick Imbert
Thread of orthodoxy through history
From Late Antiquity to Renaissance
Profiles of ten men from Medieval Church
If you study church history closely, you will see a continuous thread of faithful theology that gives God due honour, that takes Scripture as the principal authority, and nourishes our wonder and worship. Wright and Imbert outline the story of this time through the lives of: Leo the Great; Boethius; Alcuin; Gottschalk; Anselm of Canterbury; Bernard of Clairvaux; Peter Waldo; Bonaventure; John Wycliffe; and Jan Hus.
Iain Wright
Iain Wright was born and educated in Edinburgh and is presently pastor of Covenant OPC, Orland Park, Illinois. He is married with five children and has served in the Royal Naval Reserve for almost forty years.
Yannick Imbert
Yannick Imbert holds the William Edgar Chair of Apologetics at Faculté Jean Calvin, Aix–en–Provence, southern France. He also serves on the theological committee of the National Council of French Evangelicals.

… refreshing, stimulating, and truly a joy to read! … a much needed and very welcome book. Bravo!

Evangelicalism, at a popular level, often rejects the Middle Ages as a period of sheer darkness, hardly worth knowing. Iain Wright and Yannick Imbert demonstrate that the medieval period is very much worth knowing. I gladly commend this volume as helping us to see the brighter side of what is often looked on as the “dark ages”.

… an accessible, appreciative, though not uncritical introduction to … a period that, contra popular Protestant impressions, produced some great and influential Christian thinkers.
