Isbn: 9780805027631 - the barbarian conversion: from paganism to christianity (21 Ergebnisse)

Hardback. Zustand: Good. In a work of splendid scholarship that reflects both a firm mastery of difficult sources and a keen intuition, one of Britain's foremost medievalists tells the story of the Christianization of Europe. It is a very large story, for conversion encompassed much more than religious belief. With it came enormous cultural change: Latin literacy and books, Roman notions of law and property, and the concept of town life, as well as new tastes in food, drink, and dress. Whether from faith or by force, from self-interest or by revelation, conversion had an immense impact that is with us even today. It is Richard Fletcher's achievement in this superb work that he makes that impact both felt and understood.…

Zustand: Sehr gut. 562 p. Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Schutzunschlag leicht berieben, sonst neuwertiger Zustand / Dust jacket lightly rubbed, otherwise as new. - The conversion of the pagan world that began in the obscurity of the Dark Ages was in no way inevitable. England did not embrace Christianity until A.D. 627, and the last European conversion occurred in Lithuania late in the Middle Ages, in 1386. How did it all happenand why? In a work of splendid scholarship that often reads like a detective story and owes as much to keen intuition as to a firm mastery of difficult sources, one of Britains foremost medievalists tackles these questions. In a narrative that is both dramatic and thought - provoking, he relates the story of the Christianization of Europe. It is a very large story, for conversion was not only a matter of religious belief. With it came enormous cultural change: Latin literacy and books, Roman notions of law and property, and the concept of town life, as well as new tastes in food, drink, and dress. Whether from faith or by force, from self-interest or by revelation, conversion had an immense impact that is with us even today. It is Richard Fletchers achievement in this superb work that he makes that impact both felt and understood.
