For most people in the middle ages--for thousands upon thousands
who lived within Christendom in the period considered by this book,
1100-1500--we have no record of what they believed or did not
believe. John Arnold sifts through the traces left behind by our
ancestors across Europe and assembles a more complete picture than
ever before. Religion in mediveal Europe was hugely important, and
impinged upon the most mundane aspects of everyday life. But was
the period a uniform "Age of Faith?" By focussing on lay people,
this fascinating account unlocks the multiple meanings of religion,
asking how it functioned and with what effects.
This book deftly reveals for today's readers, as none have before,
the meanings and struggles that lay between the smooth surface of
medieval religious life.
