Contributors to editor James Muldoon's Varieties of Religious Conversion in the Middle Ages describe the wide range of religious experiences characteristic of the conversion of Europe to Christianity in the Middle Ages. From St. Augustine, the model of personal experience, to the conversion of entire societies - like the Saxons in the eighth century or the Lithuanians in the thirteenth - to the role of women in conversion and the role of shrines in the sacralization of the landscape, they examine the most important aspects of the spiritual transformation of Europe during the Middle Ages.
"Because conversion gets to the question of how societal change occurs not merely in individuals but in groups, these essays make a valuable contribution to a topic that has generally been treated only in a narrow context .... The essays on women and conversion make an especially valuable contribution to the ongoing discussion of women's role in religion".-- James M. Powell, Syracuse UniversityContributors describe the wide range of religious experiences characteristic of the conversion of Europe to Christianity in the Middle Ages.
