Krátky popis
A major new reinterpretation of Christendom, by one of our foremost
medieval historiansIn the fourth century AD, a new faith exploded
out of Palestine. Overwhelming the paganism of Rome, and converting
the Emperor Constantine in the process, it resoundingly defeated a
host of other rivals. Almost a thousand years later, all of Europe
was controlled by Christian rulers, and the religion, ingrained
within culture and society, exercised a monolithic hold over its
population.But, as Peter Heather shows in this compelling new
history, there was nothing inevitable about Christendom's rise to
Europe-wide dominance. In exploring how the Christian religion
became such a defining feature of the European landscape, and how a
small sect of isolated and intensely committed congregations was
transformed into a mass movement centrally directed from Rome,
Peter Heather shows how Christendom constantly battled against both
so-called 'heresies' and other forms of belief. From the crisis
that followed the collapse of the Roman empire, which left the
religion teetering on the edge of extinction, to the astonishing
revolution of the eleventh century and beyond in which the Papacy
emerged as the head of a vast international corporation, Heather
traces Christendom's chameleon-like capacity for self-reinvention
and astounding willingness to mobilize well-directed
force.Christendom's achievement was not, or not only, to define
official Christianity, but - from its scholars and its lawyers, to
its provincial officials and missionaries in far-flung corners of
the continent - to transform it into an institution that wielded
effective religious authority across nearly all of the disparate
peoples of medieval Europe. This is its extraordinary story.
