Faith in the Medieval World paints a fascinating picture of a turbulent stage of western religious history, as a companion to Faith in the Byzantine World. G. R. Evans begins by giving a lucid overview of the development of Christianity in the West in the Middle Ages, before looking at key aspects of medieval faith: the Bible and belief, popular piety and devotion, the Crusades and the concept of "holy war," politics and the church, rebellion against authority, and finally the road to Reformation.The gorgeous full-color illustrations from medieval art and the accessible writing make this attractive pocket-size volume the perfect introduction to the medieval world. Covering the lives of key figures--from pontiffs like Gregory the Great to laypeople like John Wycliffe--this book is a must for all those who want to experience one of the most famous and enthralling periods of human history.
