Tradition & Diversity: Christianity in a World Context to 1500 (Sources and Studies in World History)

About this book

This text is designed to serve as a primary source reader. It addresses medieval Christendom in the context of world history. It combines the traditional approach (the medieval Christian tradition found in the church hierarchy and theological development) with the newer approach to cultural diversity - diversity within European Christianity (women mystics heretics and popular religion) and diversity without in a world context (non-European Christianity and relations with Islam Judaism and Buddhism).
