Download or read book Christianity in England from Roman Times to the Reformation written by Kenneth Hylson-Smith and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This final volume in the author's trilogy places the English Reformation within the context of the late medieval church and also within the framework of the European Reformation as a whole. It can be treated as a separate work in its own right, or can be read in conjunction with the other two volumes to give a full account and analysis of the way Christianity evolved in England from its origins up to 1558. The style adopted, that of an overarching narrative, is intended to attract a broad readership. Every part of the book is grounded in a mass of articles, theses, monographs, and other specialist works which have abounded in the last 50 years. This means that the volume should serve as a reliable guide for those undergraduate and graduate students, as well as general readers, who are looking for an overview of events, trends and developments in the fascinating period covered by the book.

Download or read book Death and Religion in a Changing World written by Kathleen Garces-Foley and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-12-18 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This comprehensive study of the intersection of death and religion offers a unique look at how religious people approach death in the twenty-first century. Previous scholarship has largely focused on traditional beliefs and paid little attention to how religious traditions evolve in relation to their changing social context. Employing a sociological approach, "Death and Religion in a Changing World" describes how people from a wide variety of faiths draw on and adapt traditional beliefs and practices as they deal with death in modern societies. The book includes coverage of newly emerging social and religious phenomena that are only just beginning to be analyzed by religion scholars, such as public shrines, the role of the media, spiritual bereavement groups, and the use of the Internet in death practices.

Download or read book Maps and Monsters in Medieval England written by Asa Mittman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-09-13 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study centers on issues of marginality and monstrosity in medieval England. In the middle ages, geography was viewed as divinely ordered, so Britain's location at the periphery of the inhabitable world caused anxiety among its inhabitants. Far from the world's holy center, the geographic margins were considered monstrous. Medieval geography, for centuries scorned as crude, is now the subject of several careful studies. Monsters have likewise been the subject of recent attention in the growing field of monster studies, though few works situate these creatures firmly in their specific historical contexts. This book sits at the crossroads of these two discourses (geography and monstrosity), treated separately in the established scholarship but inseparable in the minds of medieval authors and artists.
