Description:
In 1968, Dr Russell proposed that the history of Medieval Christianity could be best understood in terms of two opposing forces of `spirits' within the church - prophecy and order. This is an updated version of this thinking, taking into account more recent research and abandoning outdated or no longer held views. The authors present a concise general history of the church, highlighting aspects of spirituality and institutionalisation, and placing the church within the context of Medieval society.
