商品簡介
Malegam (history, Duke U.) examines the history of medieval Christian clerical discourse about peace and violence between the contested power centers of empire, the papacy, churches, and communes. He draws on both primary sources from the 11th and 12th centuries, as well as historical interpretation over the centuries. He considers issues of papal reform, false and otherwise controversial sacraments, the Judas debates, inner peace and spiritual discipline, distinguishing peace from its illusions, exporting peace through evangelism, the rise of Christian communes, and the transition to early modern forms of state-power and peace-keeping.
