Religious Movements in the Middle Ages Hardcover - 1996
by Herbert Grundmann; Steven Rowan (Translator)
From the rear cover
Religious Movements in the Middle Ages describes a lay religious movement of the eleventh and twelfth centuries that emphasized the centrality of lifestyle rather than doctrine. The religious groups that developed and solidified out of this movement were considered heterodox by some standards, orthodox by others. However, despite initial condemnation, these groups, among them any women's groups, were given permissive rules to suit their peculiarities. Grundmann explicates the doctrines that lay behind these religious movements and captures the material contexts that fostered them. Most importantly, he is able to recapture the dynamism of the groups themselves and to identify the historically contingent events that carried them along their various paths. Perhaps the greatest synthetic daring of Grundmann's study is his emphasis on the common point of departure shared by the religious groups that were ultimately to become located on either side of orthodoxy as defined by the pope. Prior to Grundmann's study, scholars had only discussed either high medieval heresy or new orders within the Church, but never, as Grundmann does here, the common inspiration that lay behind both.
"This translation makes available to the English-speaking world one of the greatest works of German historical scholarship from the twentieth century and one of the greatest works of medieval history ever written. Sixty years after its original publication, Religious Movements in the Middle Ages remains not only learned and powerful, but innovative--even radical--as well." --Caroline Walker Bynum, Columbia University The late Herbert Grundmann was President of the Monumenta Germaniae Historica in Munich, Germany.Details
