The Christian World of the Middle Ages (review) (original) (raw)

The Christian World of the Middle Ages addresses the inadequacies in the understanding of medieval Christianity by providing a comprehensive overview of various Christian churches around the globe during the Middle Ages. The author, Hamilton, critiques Eurocentric narratives by outlining the historical and cultural developments of Christian communities in Western Europe, the Byzantine realm, Africa, and Asia, while also acknowledging the limitations of the book's overview approach. Ultimately, the work serves as a valuable primer to the diverse landscape of medieval Christianity.
