Hincmar: An Introduction To The Study Of The Revolution In The Organization Of The Church In The Ninth Century (1897)

Hincmar: An Introduction To The Study Of The Revolution In The Organization Of The Church In The Ninth Century is a book written by Guy Carleton Lee and published in 1897. The book provides an in-depth analysis of the revolution that occurred in the organization of the church during the ninth century, with a particular focus on the role played by Hincmar, a prominent bishop in the Frankish kingdom.The book is divided into several chapters that cover different aspects of the revolution, including the political and social context in which it occurred, the key players involved, and the theological debates that shaped the church's organization. Lee draws on a wide range of primary sources, including letters, chronicles, and theological treatises, to provide a detailed and nuanced account of this complex period in church history.One of the main arguments of the book is that the revolution in the organization of the church was not simply a matter of political power struggles or theological debates, but was also driven by broader social and cultural changes in the Frankish kingdom. Lee shows how the rise of feudalism, the emergence of a new aristocracy, and the growing influence of laypeople in the church all contributed to the transformation of the church's organization.Overall, Hincmar: An Introduction To The Study Of The Revolution In The Organization Of The Church In The Ninth Century is an important work of scholarship that sheds new light on a crucial period in church history. It will be of interest to scholars and students of medieval history, church history, and theology.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
