About this title

Synopsis

How faith and power molded medieval Europe

The Latin Church in the Middle Ages traces how the church’s spread and its authorities shaped the early medieval world. It covers the expansion into new kingdoms, the role of barbarians, and how papal leadership became a driving force in politics and culture. This edition outlines a clear arc—from the church’s early growth after the Roman era to its consolidation amid new rulers and new ideas. It highlights key moments, such as conversions, councils, and the evolving relationship between Rome and the broader Christian world, while keeping the focus on the premise: faith and authority driving a continent’s transformation.

• A narrative of how Christianity expanded across Europe after the fall of the Roman Empire
• Insights into the papacy’s growing political influence and its clash with secular rulers
• Accounts of conversions, councils, and the forging of medieval church structures
• Context for how religious institutions adapted to new peoples and cultures

Ideal for readers interested in medieval history, church history, and the deep ties between faith and governance in Europe.
