In addition to providing a complete transcription and translation of the text, Murray examines the historical context of the sermon and draws comparisons between its underlying structure and the Gothic portals of the cathedral. In the sermon, as in the cathedral, he finds a powerful motivational mechanism that invites the repentant sinner to enter into a new contract with the Virgin Mary. The correlation between elements of the sermon's text and the sculptural components of the cathedral leads to an exploration of the socioeconomic conditions in Picardy at the time and a vivid sketch of how the cathedral and its images were used by ordinary people. The author finds parallels in the rhetorical tools used in the sermon, on the one hand, and stylistic and compositional tools used in the sculpture, on the other. In addition to providing a fascinating and cogent consideration of medieval beliefs about salvation and redemption, this book also lays the groundwork for a long overdue examination of the performative and textual in relationship to sculpture.Ahmanson Murphy fine arts imprint.Sermons, French13th century.amiens.cathedral.catholic church.covenant.doctrine.europe.french catholicism.gothic architecture.history.medieval beliefs.medieval religion.medieval sermon.medieval.mother of god.nonfiction.notre dame.oration.oratory.picardy.preach.preacher.priest.redemption.religion.religious experience.repentance.saint mary.saints.salvation.scripture.sculpture.sermon.sinner.spirituality.virgin mary.visual culture.Sermons, French.252/.02Murray Stephen1945-1697419MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910828182203321A Gothic sermon4078103UNINA
