Description

Product Description These ten essays by John Van Engen situate religion in the history of medieval Western Europe: as an unavoidable presence in everyday life, as a conceptual framework for social and political life, as a force integral to its historical dynamics. Four of the essays are bibliographical and retrospective in nature, reviewing the field broadly, but also pointing toward a more dialectical approach to understanding the interaction of religion and society in the European middle ages. Other studies deal with large topics usually subsumed under the abstract term 'Christianization'. They grapple with learned sources as well as those associated with 'popular' religion, and show what can be gained from an imaginative use of all that lawyers and theologians said about religion in their society. The essays, finally, look for the quality and dynamic of change, even inventiveness, released by religious action and conviction in medieval European society. Review 'The pieces reprinted here [...] are filled with good judgement, display a breadth of learning, and will manage to fascinate their readers through the many intriguing human details and anecdotes they contain.' The Medieval Review 'One of the benefits of reviewing a volume in the Variorum Collected Studies Series is that it can provide the opportunity to reread stimulating and formative work which had such an impact when originally produced that the ideas have since become almost taken for granted among academics... a significant collection of stimulating scholarship, which it is certainly worthwhile and rewarding to have brought together and republished in this way.' Heythrop Journal About the Author John Van Engen is the Andrew V. Tackes Professor of History at the University of Notre Dame, USA.
