Between 711 and 1492, Christians, Jews, and Muslims lived side by side in medieval Spain and forged a golden age for each faith, making Spain the continent's commercial and cultural center while Europeans elsewhere were mired in the Dark Age. This hour on Here on Earth, Jean Feraca and her guest talk about the wisdom, hope, and lessons that the medieval Spain offers to our modern age troubled by religious strife and division.
