NOTR - The Christian Legacy of King Alfred the Great - 6.18.18
Monday, June 18, 2018 at 4:37PM Today's Show: THE CHRISTIAN LEGACY OF KING ALFRED THE GREAT - 6.18.2018
Chris discusses the story of one of the most enigmatic figures in history, Alfred the Great, the first king of England. His struggle against the Viking invaders of ancient England, might be compared to what is happening to the Western world today. Much of Christian civilization had been lost to the heathen armies, yet God raised up Alfred to turn the tide, to put down the Viking hordes, and then change the world forever. The “Dooms of Alfred” (i.e. judgments) were based on the laws of God, and formed the foundation for the common laws of England, and eventually, Western Civilization.

Chris, I just wanted to say THANK YOU for doing this blog. I listened when it first came out, and it inspired me to learn about a historical figure whom I knew in name only. Now I find that Heirloom Audio has completed their radio drama "The Dragon and the Raven", based on GA Henty's book about King Alfred. So I am thoroughly enjoying listening about someone who it seems to me, laid the foundation that made Britain the country it became. The blessing of God followed after, as long as the people followed the ways of God.
