These ten essays by John Van Engen situate religion in the history
of medieval Western Europe: as an unavoidable presence in everyday
life, as a conceptual framework for social and political life, as a
force integral to its historical dynamics. Four of the essays are
bibliographical and retrospective in nature, reviewing the field
broadly, but also pointing toward a more dialectical approach to
understanding the interaction of religion and society in the
European middle ages. Other studies deal with large topics usually
subsumed under the abstract term 'Christianization'. They grapple
with learned sources as well as those associated with 'popular'
religion, and show what can be gained from an imaginative use of
all that lawyers and theologians said about religion in their
society. The essays, finally, look for the quality and dynamic of
change, even inventiveness, released by religious action and
conviction in medieval European society.
