Editorial Reviews

Review

"...well-informed account of the struggle over the definition of the boundaries of tradition in high medieval theology." Glenn W. Olsen, The Catholic Historical Review


Product Description

Though united nominally by the Church of Rome, medieval Europe was in fact a diverse society, in terms of belief and social practices. This diversity led to controversy and upheaval in the centuries after 1000, as religious authorities demanded greater uniformity and obedience. This book of essays by leading scholars is about the sources of dissent and diversity in medieval society and the Church's attempt to repress dissent and enforce conformity to its beliefs between the years 1000 and 1500. No book has hitherto attempted so broad an approach to the issue of discontent in medieval Europe.

First Sentence:
Almost the only proposition about medieval popular heresy which always commanded general assent (despite Jeffrey Russell's gallant attempt to subvert it) is that it began in the eleventh century - which is not to say that nothing before that time could be so described, but that this is when we can begin to trace history which was more or less continuous, though extremely various, for the rest of the Middle Ages. Read the first page

5.0 out of 5 stars The meaning of religious intolerance, May 12, 2007
By T. Tinker (San Francisco, CA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Gavin Langmuir's essay in CHRISTENDOM AND ITS DISCONTENTS portrays the evolution of the myth of the tortures of the body of Christ as revealing increasing tension in Medieval Europe between Christians and Jews--a tension that led eventually to the expulsion of Jews from most of Europe. The myth begins as advocacy for Jewish conversion to Christianity, but becomes over time, advocacy for the persecution of Jews. The refusal of the Jewish people to convert and the refusal of Christians to accept Jewish recalcitrance is at the core of European antisemitism. To read Langmuir and others in CHRISTENDOM AND ITS DISCONTENTS is to understand the genesis of a series of pogroms that culminated in the Nazi holocaust.
