Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is a historical study of simony, the practice of selling or buying spiritual things, as it appeared in the Christian Church from the earliest times to the end of the reign of Charlemagne. The author traces the evolution of the concept of simony from its scriptural origins through its condemnation by the early Church Fathers and its subsequent development into a specific ecclesiastical crime. The book also examines the various factors that contributed to the prevalence of simony during different periods, including the influence of the state and the personal ambitions of the clergy. The author concludes by arguing that simony remains a serious problem in the Church today, and that it is important to understand its historical roots in order to combat it effectively.
