Whatever This Thing Is Podcast

Starting with the time of Constantine, onward Christian soldiers and the Crusades, Luther and the Reformation, King Henry VIII who did several bad things but perhaps one good thing by accident, and the Puritans whose purity was only matched by their legalism, we move at warp speed to the present day.
