The Christian World of the Middle Ages

This account of the Christian world, East and West, from AD 312 - 1500 challenges the usual Euro-centric view of medieval Christianity. The author reconstructs the faith and heritage of medieval Christendom, revealing its extraordinary impact in both great empires and tiny enclaves on the edge of the known world. From African desert monasteries to the great courts of the Holy Roman Emperors, Christian civilization's greatest achievements are caught at their high point. Hamilton details the rise of Catholic Christianity throughout the world from the fourth century and its spread throughout Europe, Africa and Asia. He also explains, in a straightforward way, the divisions between western and eastern Christianity.
