Rezensionen

'An original account of the medieval church which can serve equally as an introduction for the novice, a textbook for the student, a refresher for the teacher - and is, besides, a good read.' - Theological Book Review



'Donald Logan is to be congratulated on a book which will interest all students of the medieval Church.' - Journal of Ecclesiastical History

'For its humane and learned approach to its enormous canvas, as well as for the cogency with which it penetrates at speed to the essentials of a vanished historical epoch, this History of the Church in the Middle Ages deserves a very wide audience indeed.' - English Historical

Review

'To have written a scholarly and very readable history of the Western Church over a millennium, all in the space of 353 pages, is a remarkable tour de force, for which Donald Logan is to be warmly congratulated.' - The Tablet

'Logan's new book... is successful in striking an effective balance between the more traditional political and intellectual subjects and those of more current interest, and presents it all in an engaging narrative which should greatly appeal to students'. - Canadian Journal of History

'This is an excellent example of a textbook designed primarily for use in the classroom and for general readers. It is conceptually well organized, stylistically clear, intellectually thoughtful, and pedagogically useful.' -- Thomas Head, Speculum

Praise for the German translation: 'This easily readable and successfully selected and assembled introduction in the History of the church in the Middle Ages assumes little previous knowledge and is therefore also very useful for study and adult education.' - Markus Graulich, Annuarium Historiae Conciliorum (translated by Sonja van Leeuwen)
