Medieval Religious Rationalities

Inspired by the social theories of Max Weber David d'Avray asks in what senses medieval religion was rational and in doing so proposes a new approach to the study of the medieval past. Applying ideas developed in his companion volume on Rationalities in History he explores how values instrumental calculation legal formality and substantive rationality interact and the ways in which medieval beliefs were strengthened by their mutual connections by experience and by mental images. He sheds new light on key themes and figures in medieval religion ranging from conversion miracles and the ideas of Bernard of Clairvaux to Trinitarianism papal government and Francis of Assisi's charismatic authority. This book shows how values and instrumental calculation affect each other in practice and demonstrates the ways in which the application of social theory can be used to generate fresh empirical research as well as new interpretative insights.
