| Summary: | In this absorbing and authoritative study of late medieval English theology, Aers draws on a wide range of texts (by, among others, Nicholas Love, William Langland, and John Wyclif) to demonstrate how Christians adapted the Bible to their own concerns and contexts, in the process either creating, developing, or rupturing received tradition. He explores in particular three areas: eucharistic theology, poverty, and notions of sanctity associated with the home. |
