The Penguin History of the Church - Western Society and the Church in the Middle Ages - Bok av R. Southern - Häftad

The Penguin History of the Church - Western Society and the Church in the Middle Ages - Bok av R. Southern - Häftad

In the West the political and religious community were inextricably bound together, and because the Church was so intimately involved with the world, any history of it must take into account the development of medieval society.Professor Southern's book covers the period from the eighth to the sixteenth century.

The Enlightenment - The Pursuit of Happiness 1680-1790 - Bok av Ritchie Robertson - Häftad

'The best single-volume study of the Enlightenment that we have' Literary ReviewThe Enlightenment is one of the formative periods of Western history, yet more than 300 years after it began, it remains controversial.
