MEDIEVAL CHRISTIANITY:
A People's History of
Christianity, vol. 4

edited by Daniel E. Bornstein

Bringing alive the lost world of the Middle Ages—

Often caricatured or dismissed, the Medieval period actually evinces deep variety and color. This volume of A People's History accents the astounding range of cultural and religious experience within Medieval Christianity and the ways in which religious life structured all aspects of the daily lives of ordinary Christians. With ranking scholars from the U.S. and the Continent, this volume explores rituals of birth and death, daily parish life, lay-clerical relations, and relations with Jews and Muslims through a thousand years and many lands.

Daniel E. Bornstein is Professor of History at Texas A&M University. An historian of medieval and Renaissance Italy, Daniel Bornstein works on the role of religion in everyday life. He is co-editor (with Roberto Rusconi) of Women and Religion in Medieval and Renaissance Italy (1996, University of Chicago Press).
