"Lost Causes and Impossible Loyalties: An Apology for the Middle Ages"

This Wednesday on September 19th, historian Bruce Brasington of West Texas A&M University will deliver an address entitled “Lost Causes and Impossible Loyalties: An Apology for the Middle Ages.”  His lecture will begin at 5:30 p.m. in the Senate Room (125) of the Texas Tech Student Union Building.    

“For all its shortcomings, hypocrisies, even horrors, the Middle Ages deserves more from us than exploitation as fantastic entertainment or contempt as a “Dark Age.” We shall discover that, across the centuries, medieval people speak to us about the permanent things that matter: faith, hope and love.  And love most of all.” – Dr. Bruce Brasington

Professor Brasington, a dazzling lecturer whose 2017 address on the significance of the Reformation brought an audience of nearly 250 Amarillo area residents to their feet, will expand on this thesis in his Wednesday evening lecture. It is a talk on the Middle Ages you won’t want to miss.
