The later medieval English church is invariably viewed through the
lens of the Reformation that transformed it. But in this bold and
provocative book historian George Bernard examines it on its own
terms, revealing a church with vibrant faith and great energy, but
also with weaknesses that reforming bishops worked to overcome.
Bernard emphasizes royal control over the church. He examines the
challenges facing bishops and clergy, and assesses the depth of lay
knowledge and understanding of the teachings of the church,
highlighting the practice of pilgrimage. He reconsiders
anti-clerical sentiment and the extent and significance of heresy.
He shows that the Reformation was not inevitable: the late medieval
church was much too full of vitality. But Bernard also argues that
alongside that vitality, and often closely linked to it, were
vulnerabilities that made the break with Rome and the dissolution
of the monasteries possible. The result is a thought-provoking
study of a church and society in transformation.
