London England: Routlede & Kegan Paul. Hardback. Very slight foxing to edge. Slight shelf wear to top edge of D/J. Price clipped to D/J. Martin of Tours' decision to reject the declining culture of the Roman Empire in the fourth century A.D., superficially Christianized by Constantine, marks the beginning of a new era for Christianty. As well as being a biography. this book discusses more general aspects of provincial Christianity in the West: the role of the catechumen, western monasticism before St. Benedict, and how pagan Europe was first converted to Christianity. Martin was particularly shrewd at accommodating pagan beliefs and practices to Christianity, and he quickly became the folk hero of the Celtic peoples, who saw him as the apostle of France. Army officer, holy man, pastor, healer, exorcist, and founder of western monaticism, the life of Martin Tours still generates important lessons for Christian churches today, and directs fresh light on to the origins of Christianity in Britain. 171 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions etc.) .

Spine faded, ink name on half-title page. 1998 Trade Paperback. vii, 293 pp. From its origins in the ancient world as a rival to traditional paganism, Christianity has grown to become one of the most widely practiced religions in the world. This book explores how the Church took over spiritual control of Western Europe in the Middle Ages to become the very foundation of life--setting a moral agenda for all of society and dominating its intellectual pursuits. Covering the period between the fall of the Roman Empire and the Reformation, this account is structured in three chronological blocks: the gradual development of unity within the Western Church up to the eleventh century; the centralization phase between the eleventh and thirteenth centuries; and the break-up of the centralization of power in the later Middle Ages. Organizational developments and changes in spirituality and doctrine are examined, and the history of the papacy is situated in the wider context of changes in both ecclesiastical and lay society. Intellectual developments and the rise of heresy--at both the elite and popular levels--are also considered in a telling exploration of the mental world of medieval Christendom., Arnold, 1998, 3<
