In today’s show originally recorded and broadcast on August 26 2025, Andy is joined by Dr. Peter Hammond for a show entitled, “The Real Story Of King Alfred The Great.”

We discussed: how King Alfred is the only English King to be known as The Great; why King Alfred was known as the Reformer King; how Alfred was never expected to become King as he had three older brothers; why Alfred is regarded as the father of the Royal Navy; how the Common Law of England was called Common Law as it was common to all classes of people; how Alfred sought to turn his enemies to Christ and why his presence is still felt in Scandinavia today; how Alfred liberated England against the Viking invaders; how Alfred devised a Church program aiming to teach every English child to read and write; how King Alfred believed he was descended from King David, a fact Queen Victoria was able to determine when she also discovered she was descended from King David; how the ten tribes of Israel founded much of Northern and Western Europe; the similarities between the tribe of Dan and the Vikings; Peter’s doctoral thesis which became his bestselling book “The Greatest Century Of Missions” and how you can get your copy; the proxy war you haven’t heard of which is currently going on in Sudan; and many other topics.
