Although lay religious life is often assumed to have been a tissue of ignorance and superstition, this study shows basic religious training to have been broadly available to laity and clergy alike. Reeves examines the nature, availability and circulation of sermon manuscripts as well as guidebooks to Christian teachings written for both clergy and literate laypeople. He shows that under the direction of a vigorous and reforming episcopate and aided by the preaching of the friars, clergy had a readily available toolkit to instruct their lay flocks.Education and society in the Middle Ages and Renaissance ;Volume 50.Religious educationEnglandHistoryCreedsHistory and criticismEnglandChurch history1066-1485Religious educationHistory.CreedsHistory and criticism.268.0942/09022Reeves Andrew(History Professor),1645173MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910814017703321Religious education in thirteenth-century England3991484UNINA
