From its origins in the ancient world as a rival to traditional
paganism, Christianity has become one of the great world religions.
How the Church took over spiritual control of Western Europe to
become the foundation of medieval life, setting the moral agenda of
society and dominating its intellectual world, is the guiding
enquiry at the heart of this book. Covering the period between the
fall of the Roman Empire and the Reformation, the account is
structured in three chronological blocks, starting with the gradual
development of unity within the Western Church up to the 11th
century, followed by the period of centralization between the 11th
and 13th centuries, and concluding with the break-up of this
centralization in the later Middle Ages. Organizational
developments and changes in spirituality and doctrine are examined,
and the history of the papacy is situated in the wider context of
both ecclesiastical and lay society. Intellectual developments and
the rise of heresy, at both elite and popular levels, are the focus
of an exploration of the mental world of medieval Christendom.
