Churchmen in the Middle Ages were, in theory, men of peace; in reality, the Church became inextricably enmeshed in the violence of the age, not infrequently functioning as a major contributing factor.
This collection of essays explores the multitudinous and diverse forms which such violence could assume, showing that violence against persons, dissenting movements and ideas, books and artwork characterized Christianity in the medieval world almost as much as faith, hope, and charity.
Contributors are Nicolás Agrait, David S. Bachrach, Ronald W. Braasch, III., Lawrence G. Duggan, Kent G. Hare, John D. Hosler, John Howe, Steven Isaac, Donald J. Kagay, James R. King, Craig M. Nakashian, Helen J. Nicholson, William D. Phillips, Jr., and L. J. Andrew Villalon.
