This weeks readings are really interesting looks into life in the Middle Ages. They provide so much detail into ordinary life. #CH1205

@CHdomzamboni definitely humbling, yet I also think it's a testament to our ability to survive. #CH1205

[Daniel Wong @CHDanWong]

@AlexisHarrisCH same, I actually laughed out loud at that. #CH1205

@ChazClarkCH I was amazed at how many tests he put her through. Even more amazing is that she still ended up with him in the end. #CH1205

[Daniel Wong @CHDanWong]

Boccacios description of the plague is such an interesting and telling account of what occurred during that time. #CH1205 #CHLateMidAge

[Daniel Wong @CHDanWong]

I like how the Were-Wolf actually got a pretty good ending in France's story. I thought they would've killed him on the spot. #CH1205

@CHMinasM I think the problem is that they are the "rules" of love. Seems kinda hard to put specific rules on something like love. #CH1205

[Daniel Wong @CHDanWong]

Courtly love is pretty complicated stuff, plenty of little rules and etiquette that could be easily overlooked. #CH1205 #CHMedRomance

[Daniel Wong @CHDanWong]

@CHMinasM totally agree. Her prose is amazingly deep and beautiful. #CH1205 #CHMedRomance

@CHannikabowlen I've heard the same thing. I think it is profoundly different when read in its native language. #CHEarlyIslm #CH1205

[Daniel Wong @CHDanWong]

@CHmadisonbaker agreed, you don't have to sift through all the story and parable. It's just all laid out right there for us. #CH1205

[Daniel Wong @CHDanWong]

@CHMinasM I got that feeling as well. I think I meant that even with bias he didn't really distort his telling of the facts much. #CH1205

[Daniel Wong @CHDanWong]

@CHMarioC yep and this goes along with the ultimate submission to God idea, and Abraham is a perfect example of this ideal. #CH1205

[Daniel Wong @CHDanWong]

The lessons in the Koran remind me of those in the Bible, but with a different structure, and they seem more open to interpretation. #CH1205

[Daniel Wong @CHDanWong]

Usama ibn Munqidh is very good at recounting the cultural peculiarities of the Franks and without much of his own cultural bias. #CH1205

[Daniel Wong @CHDanWong]

Interesting to see the contrast when Jesus is giving his Sermon on the mount between the old Jewish laws and Christian ones. #CH1205

[Daniel Wong @CHDanWong]

There are many similarities between Jesus and Moses, both are leaders that have come to save the people. #CH1205 #CHgospels

[Daniel Wong @CHDanWong]

@CHMinasM @CHdomzamboni exactly. You can go to heaven even if you're poor, a powerful message for the less fortunate. #CH1205

[Daniel Wong @CHDanWong]

@CHbeauhogan you definitely have to know your stuff. #CH1205

[Daniel Wong @CHDanWong]

@CHkylebelka I also got that feeling when he was talking about Brutus. And especially when he was talking about himself haha. #CH1205
