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. 410 0$aAhmanson Murphy fine arts imprint. 606 $aSermons, French 610 $a13th century. 610 $aamiens. 610 $acathedral. 610 $acatholic church. 610 $acovenant. 610 $adoctrine. 610 $aeurope. 610 $afrench catholicism. 610 $agothic architecture. 610 $ahistory. 610 $amedieval beliefs. 610 $amedieval religion. 610 $amedieval sermon. 610 $amedieval. 610 $amother of god. 610 $anonfiction. 610 $anotre dame. 610 $aoration. 610 $aoratory. 610 $apicardy. 610 $apreach. 610 $apreacher. 610 $apriest. 610 $aredemption. 610 $areligion. 610 $areligious experience. 610 $arepentance. 610 $asaint mary. 610 $asaints. 610 $asalvation. 610 $ascripture. 610 $asculpture. 610 $asermon. 610 $asinner. 610 $aspirituality. 610 $avirgin mary. 610 $avisual culture. 615 0$aSermons, French. 676 $a252/.02 700 $aMurray$b Stephen$f1945-$01697419 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910828182203321 996 $aA Gothic sermon$94078103 997 $aUNINA
