People's History of Christianity, A : Volume 4 : Medieval Christianity

---

Outline: Bringing alive the lost world of the Middle Ages - From the fall of Rome and the conversion of the Germanic tribes to the dawn of the Reformation, here is a rich and concrete exploration of the religious life ways and spirituality of medieval peasants and artisans, warriors and clerics, wives and children, and even the dead, in their daily interactions with each other, the church, the saints and, God. Medieval Christianity probes the handbooks and registers, sermons and confessional manuals, illuminated manuscripts and altarpieces to understand popular religion and its fascinating array of art and architecture, ascetic and devotional practices, pilgrimages and relics, heresies and revivals, as well as its crusades and pogroms. Wonderfully researched and written, this volume affords glimpses of real people in their daily struggles and their overriding search for salvation. With fifty illustrations, maps, and an eight-page color gallery, this volume of A People's History of Christianity strikingly conveys something of the folkways and even the emotional ambiance of medieval piety among ordinary Christians. With ranking scholars from the U.S. and the Continent, this volume explores in fascinating detail the rituals of birth and death, daily parish life, lay-clerical relations, and relations with Jews and Muslims that animated Christian existence through a thousand years and many lands. Among with editor Daniel E. Bornstein, the illustrious historians participating in this volume include: Gary Dickson, Bonnie Effors, Katherine L. French, Yitzhak Hen, Richard Kieckhefer, Grado G. Merlo, Teofilo F. Ruiz, Roberto Rusconi, R. N. Swanson, Andre Vauchez, Diana Webb.
