This collection of essays examines the polyvalent concept of "New
Worlds" in the context of medieval and early modern sermon studies.
While the terms "Old World" and "New World" are commonplace in
studies of Europe and the Americas, this volume explores how
preaching in the Atlantic world and beyond creatively engaged
audiences in addressing new cultural and religious perspectives
regardless of their geographical location and time period. The
identification of the "other" in sermons is already an implicit
recognition of a novel world, which could be equally enticing and
intimidating. The scholars represented in this volume examine a
wide panorama of medieval and early modern efforts as they identify
how sermons, which often served as a highly effective media of mass
communication, reflect shifting identities, sometimes contested and
sometimes embraced, within long-standing traditional constructs.
Particular themes include apocalypticism, art and mission, cultural
interaction, multilingualism, forms of religious life, and
theological innovation.
