Reynolds traces the journey of Gods people who came out of the horrors of slavery in Egypt and looks at the reasons why they perished in the desert--never to conquer Canaan. She also shows how the reasons many Christians fail to enter into Gods rest today are no different. (Practical Life)

There she argued that the concepts of the fief and of vassalage, as generally understood by historians of medieval Europe, were constructed by post-medieval historians from the works of medieval academic lawyers and the writers of medieval epics and romances.
