Recent studies of medieval preaching have tended to focus on sermon
texts. This is the first scholarly study in English of preaching
and its social context in thirteenth-century Italy. Augustine
Thompson O.P., both an academic and a preacher, reconstructs the
"Great Devotion" of 1233 and analyzes its devotional, social,
political, and legal elements. He shows how the preachers of this
revival crafted an image of divine authority that supported their
intervention in factional disputes and facilitated their
arbitration in social and political conflicts. They exploited forms
from revived Roman Law and developing city statutes in order to
create flexible procedures for mediation, and ultimately were able
to revise communal ordinances to enshrine their message of social
harmony. This is a work of original scholarship, carefully
researched and lucidly written, which is a valuable contribution to
our understanding of religion and politics in the middle ages.
