The subjects covered embrace anumber of disciplines, from theology to art history, from the sociology of religion to the origins of a specifically Roman Catholic approach to archaeology. Throughout, the scope of the volume reflects the many and varied ways inwhich the legacy and heritage of the past has affected the life of the Church, and of individual Christians, over the centuries.    Dr R.N. SWANSON teaches in the Department of History at the University of Birmingham.    Contributors: T.A. HESLOP, RACHEL MORIARTY, STUART G. HALL, COLIN MORRIS, SIMON COATES, JOHN A.

The church's tradition is dependent on literacy: throughout its history the Christian message has been conveyed through books and other forms of writing, to provide continuity through periods of persecution, to challenge rival views, to aid processes of conversion, and asvital witnesses to the history of the Church as both a spiritual and social phenomenon. This collection of twenty-six articles by an international group of scholars offers insights into many aspects of the relationship between the church and the book, from the first appearance of Christian writings through to the twentieth century, not just inBritain and Europe, but in America, China, and India.
