All pilgrimages should be stopped.' This blunt assertion by Martin
Luther, echoed unanimously by the sixteenth-century Protestant
Reformers, is the pivot of Professor Davies's fascinating and
original study. Why were pilgrimages condemned? To answer the
question he gathers together material to illustrate the nature of
pilgrimages and the motives behind them, extending from patristic
times to the Middle Ages. Then he studies the effects of the
condemnation on the flourishing pilgrimage trade. During the
nineteenth century, the Holy Land again attracted visitors, even
among Protestants; here is another change which needs to be
explained. Pilgrimages may have been resurrected in our day, but
there has been little examination in depth of the criticisms
previously levelled against them among Protestants. A substantial
chapter attempts to fill this gap, at the same time supplying a
modern theology of pilgrimage. The book ends with a review of the
devotional aspects of modern pilgrimages, and with suggestions
about possible services, use of the Bible, meditations and soon. J.
G. Davies was Professor and former Head of the Department of
Theology in the University of Birmingham.
William Wey, fifteenth-century Devon priest, Fellow of Exeter
College, Oxford, and Bursar of Eton College, made three pilgrimages
between 1456 and 1462 - to Compostella, Rome and the Holy Land.
Prompted by his friends to write an account of these pilgrimages,
he describes in vivid detail his travels through seas patrolled by
Turkish galleys across Europe which at that time was embroiled in
turmoil from local conflicts. The complete text of his narrative
has never before been translated into modern English. For students
of this period, which bridges the medieval and early modern worlds,
Wey's account adds a new dimension to the phenomenon of pilgrimage.
He himself is an attractive and intriguing person of many talents,
practical, adventurous and highly observant, and eminently
resourceful. While waiting for the pilgrim galley to sail to Jaffa,
for example, Wey spent over a month in Venice and gives a colourful
account of that city in its heyday. His biblical knowledge is
formidable and his use of sources exact and apposite. He provides
practical and homely advice on kit, conduct and currency. He also
includes comparative English, Latin, Greek and Hebrew vocabularies,
gazetteers of places, roads and distances, and two poems. Medieval
pilgrim accounts are relatively rare and The Itineraries provides a
fascinating insight into travel, religious faith and the topography
of fifteenth-century Europe and beyond.
This is a study of the social construction and the impression
management of the public forms of worship of Catholicism and
Anglicanism. Interest centres on the dilemmas of the liturgical
actors in handling a transaction riddled with ambiguities and
potential misunderstandings. Simmel, Berger and Goffman are used in
an original manner to understand these rites which pose as much of
a problem for sociology as for their practitioners.;These rites are
treated as forms of play and hermeneutics is linked to a negative
theology to understand their performative basis. The study is an
effort to link sociology to theology in a way that serves to focus
on an issue of social praxis.
Written as the First World War was finally drawing to a close, A.
Clutton-Brock's reflections on the Kingdom of Heaven examine this
challenging theological concept in light of the great religious,
political and moral uncertainties thrown up by the conflict. In
particular, Clutton-Brock contends that historically Christian
orthodoxy has not sufficiently emphasised the role of the Kingdom
in salvation, given its importance in the ministry and teaching of
Christ. To preserve a religious vision capable of interacting with
the modern, industrial world, Christian orthodoxy must carefully
consider the scope and importance of political practice, the role
of the individual in the realisation of the Kingdom, and the
profound implications of reconciling the facts of the universe with
the most sincerely held beliefs.
