Opis

A reassessment of the spread of Christianity in Western Europe. It examines one prominent Christian feast-Rogationtide-in order to argue that the modern religious borders between Christianity, Judaism, and paganism did not exist in the early Middle ages.

Recenzje

Ristuccia has written an excellent book that presents a thoughtful contribution to the field. This is an intriguing analysis of Rogationtide and the changing meanings and use of this feast in the early medieval period and beyons. It is highly recommended. Caitlin Corning, Fides et Historia
