商品簡介
The devotional cultures of European Christianity from the dawn of the French Revolution to the Second Vatican Council--characterized as a revolution itself--is explored by scholars of theology but also art and music, and history and culture. In sections on geographies, the arts, and instruments, they consider such topics as devotions and the old rite, the Redemptorists and the shaping of Irish popular devotion 1851-1965, the visual rhetoric of medals representing 19th-century Marian apparitions, the instruments of medieval revivalism in 19th-century art and architecture, and religious emblems and cultural identity in Northern Ireland. Many of the 11 essays were presented at a January 2008 international conference in Thurles, Ireland. Distributed in the US by ISBS. Annotation c2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
