Abstract:

"Contributors to editor James Muldoon's Varieties of Religious Conversion in the Middle Ages describe the wide range of religious experiences characteristic of the conversion of Europe to Christianity in the Middle Ages. From St. Augustine, the model of personal experience, to the conversion of entire societies - like the Saxons in the eighth century or the Lithuanians in the thirteenth - to the role of women in conversion and the role of shrines in the sacralization of the landscape, they examine the most important aspects of the spiritual transformation of Europe during the Middle Ages."--BOOK JACKET.
