The War between Danes and Saxons

In ca. AD 950, Otto I subdued King Gorm’s Denmark and forced Christianity upon his realm, but the conflict that led to this subjugation and conversion was not an isolated incident – it was the result of a centuries-long war between the Danes and Saxons. This post takes a closer look at that campaign.

The fall of the Roman Empire brought with it great upheavals across Europe. Tribes warred and fough

Quotes by Eric Schumacher (?)

“We are saying that women -- as a sex -- are not more sinful than men. Women are not more deceivable than men. Women are not less intelligent than men. Women are not more prone to error than men. Women are not more dangerous than men. Women are not more arrogant or domineering than men. Women are not to be viewed with more suspicion than men. All women are born into sin, unrighteous by both nature and choice -- as are all men.”
― Eric Schumacher, Worthy: Celebrating the Value of Women

“Rules about how to be biblical men and women won't make us love each other. They can't. They won't make us wiling to embrace our God-given identities or help us be willing to walk in humble obedience. They can't because they don't have the power to. No, what we need is Someone who will transform our hearts by his love and humility.”
