Mirk's Festial, Vol. 1: A Collection of Homilies (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into medieval religious life through a collection of sermons attributed to Johannes Mirkus, a 15th-century English priest. Offering a glimpse into the beliefs and practices of the time, the sermons cover a range of topics, from major feast days like Christmas and Easter to the lives of saints like Andrew and Nicholas. The author's engaging style blends theological insights with vivid storytelling, drawing on biblical narratives, saintly miracles, and even local English legends. The sermons not only instructed listeners on religious doctrine but also served as moral guidance, urging them to live lives of humility, charity, and piety. Through these sermons, we gain a deeper understanding of the medieval worldview, where faith intertwined with daily life, and the divine manifested in both wondrous miracles and everyday challenges. Ultimately, the book sheds light on the enduring power of religious belief to shape individual lives and communities in the pre-modern world. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
