Product Description
Review
'Brown has got his mind around the issues in current debates and gives thoughtful, balanced and interesting comments. Mastery of the sources and especially secondary literature is shown in the very full and helpful footnotes and bibliography. Altogether recommended for BA and Masters level students.' - Professor Norman Tanner, Gregorian University, Rome
Product Description
This book offers a fresh interpretation of the relationship between the church, society and religion across five centuries of change. Andrew Brown examines how the teachings of an increasingly universal Church were applied at a local level and how social change shaped the religious practices of the laity. His approach encompasses the structures of corporate religion, the devotional practices surrounding cults and saints, the effects of literacy (not least on the development of heresy), and how gender, class and political power affected and fragmented the expression of religion.
