Christianity in the West, 1400-1700 John Bossy Published by Medieval Studies

Author: John Bossy

Publisher: Medieval Studies

Description:
This is a book about Christianity in its medieval sense: a body of people, their beliefs and superstitions and their way of life. Professor Bossy aims to improve understanding of what happened to Western Europe during this crucial period by renouncing the use of the term 'Reformation' and its implication that a bad form of Christianity was replaced by a good one. Slightly over half the book is taken up with an abosrbing and original account of traditional or pre-Reformation Christianity. The sacraments of the Church - from baptism to the last rites - still fulfilled Augustine's concept of their function as the skeleton of the social body. The second half explores the forces that were tending to undermine these classic rites of passage, which lent significance and sanctity to people's lives. Professor Bossy describes the regimes (both Protestant and Catholic) which superseded the older ways, and examines the consequences of the disintergration of traditional Christianity.
