"For many, the medieval world seems dark and foreign-a miraculous, brutal, and irrational time of superstition and strange relics. The pursuit of heretics, the Inquisition, the Crusades and the domination of the "Holy Land" come to mind. Yet the medieval world produced much that is part of our world today, including universities, the passion for Roman architecture and the emergence of the gothic style, pilgrimage, the emergence of capitalism, and female saints. This new narrative history of medieval Christianity, spanning from A.D. 500 to 1500, attempts to combine both what is unfamiliar and what is familiar to readers. Elements of novelty in the book include a steady focus on the role of women in Christianity; the relationships among Christians, Jews, and Muslims; the experience of ordinary parishioners; the adventure of asceticism, devotion and worship, and instruction through drama, architecture, and art. Madigan expertly integrates these areas of focus with more traditional themes, such as the evolution and decline of papal power, the nature and repression of heresy, sanctity and pilgrimage, the conciliar movement, and the break between the old Western church and its reformers. Illustrated with more than forty photographs of physical remains, this book promises to become an essential guide to a historical era of profound influence"--… (mer)

Nicely done; Madigan is much better (or so it seemed to me) on the high and later middle ages; the early chapters drag a little, with too much written about comparatively unimportant matters. It's not clear to me, in particular, why there are two chapters on Christianity and 'the Jews', but almost nothing at all about western and eastern Christianity. You only know the latter exists because there's a paragraph or so about the schism. Of course, it is clear to me: this is not a book about 'Medieval Christianity,' but a book about medieval Christianity in western Europe, and it was written recently, so the recent historical preoccupations find their way in. But I'm not sure that's a responsible thing to do in what is meant to be an introductory textbook. ( )

In 1970 the great British medievalist Richard William Southern published his book [b:Western Society and the Church in the Middle Ages|271116|Western Society and the Church in the Middle Ages (The Penguin History of the Church, #2)|R.W. Southern|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1388363010s/271116.jpg|262839]. A volume in the "Penguin History of the Church" series, it served for over four decades as the standard survey on the relationship between Christianity and the medieval world. Kevin Madigan makes it clear at the start of this book that he intends for this book to serve as a replacement for Southern's seminal text. It's a ambitious goal, and one which he achieves successfully by providing a lucid and wide-ranging survey of the role Christianity played in western and central Europe in the Middle Ages. ( )

Medieval Christianity: A New History, by Kevin Madigan, is a comprehensive overview of western Christianity during the Medieval period. Madigan makes sense of a long, rich and often conflicted period in history. His viewpoint is sympathetic but never hesitates to delve into the messy bits of medieval Christianity. I particularly enjoyed the chapters on spirituality of everyday people, the religious orders, and women. Madigan left me with a thirst to find out more on this fascinating period. ( )

(Preface) By the early seventh century or so, the biblical culture today called medieval Christianity was the distinguishing and unitive religious and cultural mortar of European society.
(Chapter 1) For more than sixteen centuries, historians of early Christianity, relying heavily on early Christian sources, took it as given that orthodox Christianity, as a rule—perhaps at all times—preceded erroneous or heretical forms of Christianity.
