Medieval Spain's Golden Age of Enlightenment
May 1, 2005 Sunday 2PM CT ( listen)
Between 711 and 1492, Christians, Jews, and Muslims lived side by side
in medieval Spain and forged a golden age for each faith, making Spain
the continent's commercial and cultural center while Europeans elsewhere
were mired in the Dark Age. This hour on Here on Earth, Jean Feraca and
her guest talk about the wisdom, hope, and lessons that the medieval
Spain offers to our modern age troubled by religious strife and division.
