Overview

Faith in the Medieval World paints a fascinating picture of the world of the Middle Ages, roughly the years from 500 to 1500. Evans first provides an overview of the development of Christianity in the west during this period. Then he introduces and describes such key themes as: bible study; belief; sin and the sacraments; politics and the Church; the Crusades and the idea of ‘holy war’; popular piety; the religious life; rebels; and the road to Reformation. He focuses on many of the important personalities in the medieval period, including Gregory the Great, John Wyclif, Peter Abelard, Dante, Bernard of Clairvaux and Chaucer.
