A History of the Church in the Middle Ages by F Donald Logan
In this fascinating survey, F. Donald Logan introduces the reader to the Christian church, from the conversion of the Celtic and Germanic peoples through to the discovery of the New World.'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
