Time Period: 300-800
Topics: the emergence of the papacy, missionaries to pagan tribes, the emergence of Islam
The early middle ages (roughly 5th-10th c.) were a critical transition period for all of Europe, Asia, and North Africa largely due to the collapse of the Roman Empire. And that meant it was also a transition period for the church. This time period saw the emergence of the papacy as a dominating force in the western church, the conversion of Germanic barbarian tribes, and the growing dominance of Islam in the Middle East with plans to expand farther west.
