This book focuses on the formative period of Church reform in the
Middle Ages in Northern Europe, when the Church paved the way for
the development of money economy on its own doorstep. Church
archaeology provides evidence for patterns of monetary use related
to liturgy, church architecture and devotional culture through the
centuries. This volume encompasses Alpine European evidence, with
emphasis on Gotland, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland and
Switzerland, which opens up a new field of research on religion and
money for an international audience. Based on 100,000 single finds
of coins from the 11th to 18th centuries from 650 Scandinavian
churches, the volume offers an in-depth discussion of the concepts
of ritual, liturgy and devotional uses of money, monetary space and
spiritual economy within the framework of Christendom, the medieval
church and church architecture. Written by international scholars,
Coins in Churches will be a valuable resource for readers
interested in the history of religion, money, the economy, and
church architecture in Northern Europe in the Middle Ages.
