Abstract

"In this collection of essays Nicholas Brooks explores some of the earliest and most problematic sources, both written and archaeological, for early English history. In his hands, the structure and functions of Anglo-Saxon origin stories and charters (whether authentic or forged) illuminate English political and social structures, as well as ecclesiastical, urban and rural landscapes. Together with already published essays, this work includes an account of the developments in the study of Anglo-Saxon charters over the last 20 years."--Bloomsbury Publishing.

Abstract

"The ritual expression of community consensus at saints' festivals and judicial procedures became a key element in the exercise of "holy power" in all of western Europe following the dissolution of the Roman empire. Among the bishops and kings of this fragmented world, Catholic leaders in Visigothic Spain were unique in their development of a program for centralized and exclusive Catholic consensus. Bishops, Councils, and Consensus describes how community consensus in this "barbarian" kingdom came to be seen as a coercive force to be used to eliminate any trace of difference among all its inhabitants, especially Jews, heretics, and political dissenters. Concentrating on the day-to-day exercise of Christian leadership, as well as on the conflicts between leaders as they sought to define and impose divergent visions of "holy" power, the book also explains their inability to put ideal consensus into practice."--Jacket.

Abstract

"Rethinking Church, State, and Modernity considers some central concepts in the sociology and history of religion and explores how Canada's religious experience is distinctive in the modern world. The contributors to this volume challenge the institutional approach that stresses a strict division between 'church' and 'state, ' which seems increasingly inappropriate in late-modern and post-modern society and instead, favour a more fluid interpretation."--Jacket.
