Augustine of Hippo is a symbol of early medieval man, seeking to understand the terror and destruction resulting form the barbarian devastations of the Roman world, seeking to find the hand of God - and finding it in the counterpart to the destroyed city of man in the city of God. The program covers the Church resurgent, filling the vacuum left by the collapse of civil government and changing to meet its new obligations and fill its new role in society; the creation of the Vulgate Bible; mass conversions; the rule of Pope Gregory the Great - the last of the Roman popes and the first of the Europeans; monastic life; Romanesque architecture; and the role of the pilgrimage in medieval society.
