The Medieval Church: A Brief History argues for the pervasiveness
of the Church in every aspect of life in medieval Europe. It shows
how the institution of the Church attempted to control the lives
and behaviour of medieval people, for example, through canon law,
while at the same time being influenced by popular movements like
the friars and heresy. This fully updated and illustrated second
edition offers a new introductory chapter on 'the Basics of
Christianity,' for students who might be unfamiliar with this
territory. The book now has new material on some of the key
individuals in church history: Benedict of Nursia, Hildegard of
Bingen, Bernard of Clairvaux and Francis of Assisi as well as a
more comprehensive study throughout of the role of women in the
medieval church. Lynch and Adamo seek to explain the history of the
Church as an institution, and to explore its all-pervasive role in
medieval life. In the course of the thousand years covered in this
book, we see the members and leaders of the Western Church struggle
with questions that are still relevant today: What is the nature of
God? How does a church keep beliefs from becoming diluted in a
diverse society? What role should the state play in religion? The
book is now accompanied by a website with textual, visual, and
musical primary sources making it a fantastic resource for students
of medieval history.
