This book examines the broad varieties of religious belief,
religious practices, and the influence of religion within medieval
society. Religion in the Middle Ages was not monolithic. Medieval
religion and the Latin Church are not synonymous. While theology
and liturgy are important, an examination of animal trials,
gargoyles, last judgments, various aspects of the medieval
underworld, and the quest for salvation illuminate lesser known
dimensions of religion in the Middle Ages. Several themes run
throughout the book including visual culture, heresy and heretics,
law and legal procedure, along with sexuality and an awareness of
mentalities and anxieties. Although an expanse of 800 years has
passed, the remains of those other Middle Ages can be seen today,
forcing us to reassess our evaluations of this alluring and often
overlooked past.
