    The Germanization of Early Medieval Christianity: A Sociohistorical Approach to Religious Transformation

    —“While historians of Christianity have generally acknowledged some degree of Germanic influence in the development of early medieval Christianity, Russell goes further, arguing for a fundamental Germanic reinterpretation of Christianity. This first full-scale treatment of the subject follows a truly interdisciplinary approach, applying to the early medieval period a sociohistorical method similar to that which has already proven fruitful in explicating the history of Early Christianity and Late Antiquity. The encounter of the Germanic peoples with Christianity is studied from within the larger context of the encounter of a predominantly “world-accepting” Indo-European folk-religiosity with predominantly “world-rejecting” religious movements. While the first part of the book develops a general model of religious transformation for such encounters, the second part applies this model to the Germano-Christian scenario. Russell shows how a Christian missionary policy of temporary accommodation inadvertently contributed to a reciprocal Germanization of Christianity.”—

    Let me help you. In the ancient and medieval world, you were EITHER trained in the church OR trained in traditional law and warfare.

    In that model separation of church and state survives.

    When we ended aristocracy we made it possible for people of a church, including the marxist-postmodernist-feminist church, to be raised in the church (the MPF academy) without learning and demonstrating fitness in war.

    THERE IS NO APOLOGY THAT STANDS SCRUTINY

    I just don’t use the christian (semitic) model of thought at all. zero. I use the western (european) model of thought: Literature, History, War, Economics, Law, Science, Logic, and Mathematics. (LHWELSLM).

    I can’t read apologist literature. It’s all Abrahamism. It’s no different from marxism, postmodernism, and feminism, and was and always will be, something forced upon us, that which we struggled to escape, that which we nearly escaped, and that which we are still trying to escape.

    I do science. I don’t really do philosophy except to undrestand it’s failures. I don’t do theology except to understand its failure.

    There is no apology for sophism and supernaturalism or pseudoscience that stands scrutiny.
