Western European civilization evolved during the medieval
centuries when the whole area was converted to Christianity
in its Latin Catholic form. This account is an introduction to
the religious life of that formative period, but is concerned less
with the history of the institutional Church than with the
interaction between that Church and lay society. It is essential
to know about medieval religion in order to understand
medieval society at all, because almost everyone then accepted
a religious explanation of the world in which they lived,
although the extent to which they practised their faith varied
considerably. This book is designed to help people who are
interested in the Middle Ages, but who may have little or no
knowledge of Christianity, to understand the role of the dominant
religion, Latin Catholicism, in the life of society and of the
individual. Attention is also given to the growth of a dissenting
tradition, as well as to medieval Christian attitudes to the
other great world religions.
This new edition of Religion in the Medieval West has been
updated throughout, and reorganized for ease of use. New
isual evidence has been provided and a glossary of technical
terms included.
