This is an accessible two-part introduction to key periods of
Christian history. Faith in the Byzantine World For many people the
Byzantine world is an intriguing mystery. Here, Mary Cunningham
presents readers with an ideal guide to this most fascinating of
empires. Covering the period between 330 and 1453, the author
begins by providing an outline of the history of the Byzantine
Church, and then looks at key aspects of its outward expression,
including the solitary ideal; holy places and holy people; service
to the community; the nature of belief; and art, architecture and
icons. Faith in the Medieval World The medieval period constituted
a turbulent stage in religious history. Gillian R. Evans begins her
immersive account by providing an overview of the development of
Christianity in the West in the Middle Ages, before looking at key
aspects of medieval faith: the Bible and belief; popular piety and
devotion; the Crusades and the idea of 'holy war'; politics and the
Church; rebellion against authority; and the road to Reformation.
This analysis is a must for all those keen to understand one of the
most enthralling periods of history.
