Synopsis
The Medieval World View is an engaging introduction to the people, places & ideas shaping the intellectual world of the Middle Ages. The book presents the presuppositions of medieval society in a systematic fashion by integrating brief, self-contained selections from primary texts & carefully captioned photos into a narrative of the medieval world & its foundations. The text is in three parts. Treating both the classical & biblical antecedents of the Middle Ages & ending in Late Antiquity, Part 1 includes a thoro discussion of the monumental figure of Augustine. Part 2 deals with the early Middle Ages, beginning with the disintegration of the Roman Empire & continuing thru the German invasions, the 6th & 7th century founders & the renaissance associated with the reign of Charlemagne. Part 3 examines the high Middle Ages & beyond, following developments in the church, in politics & in arts & culture from the 12th century up thru the end of the 14th century. The Medieval World View handles sophisticated issues with great clarity, making this an ideal text for courses in Medieval history, literature or art history.

Review
"Provides the student with an introduction to the Medieval world that is both sophisticated and comprehensible. The bibliography is excellent! It offers a good background to those who study the development of Christian thought."--Ann McKean, Christian Brothers College
"Exactly what I need to help bring 20th century minds to the reality of the 'exotic' medieval world! The intent of the authors set out in the introduction is successfully followed through in their own medieval pilgrimage. Thank you!"--Sister M. de la Salle, St. Joseph College
"Uniquely introduces the Middle Ages....The volume is enhanced by notes, bibliography, index, and a few well-selected plates. Every undergraduate library should purchase this."--Religious Studies Review
