Item Description...
Product Description
Though united nominally by the Church of Rome, medieval Europe was in fact a diverse society, in terms of belief and social practices. This diversity led to controversy and upheaval in the centuries after 1000, as religious authorities demanded greater uniformity and obedience. This book of essays by leading scholars is about the sources of dissent and diversity in medieval society and the Church's attempt to repress dissent and enforce conformity to its beliefs between the years 1000 and 1500. No book has hitherto attempted so broad an approach to the issue of discontent in medieval Europe.

 | The meaning of religious intolerance May 13, 2007 |
| Gavin Langmuir's essay in CHRISTENDOM AND ITS DISCONTENTS portrays the evolution of the myth of the tortures of the body of Christ as revealing increasing tension in Medieval Europe between Christians and Jews--a tension that led eventually to the expulsion of Jews from most of Europe. The myth begins as advocacy for Jewish conversion to Christianity, but becomes over time, advocacy for the persecution of Jews. The refusal of the Jewish people to convert and the refusal of Christians to accept Jewish recalcitrance is at the core of European antisemitism. To read Langmuir and others in CHRISTENDOM AND ITS DISCONTENTS is to understand the genesis of a series of pogroms that culminated in the Nazi holocaust. | | | Write your own review about Christendom and its Discontents: Exclusion, Persecution, and Rebellion, 1000-1500
