- W2470084265 abstract "As in other academic disciplines, historical Christianity in recent years has been energetically navigating the “cultural turn.” Just before the onset of the new millennium, Church History , the publication of the American Society of Church History, added the subtitle: Studies in Christianity and Culture. The subtitle signaled a recognition that Church History as a discipline had come to embrace a greater breadth than the connotations conveyed by the traditional term “Church History.” More specifically, its frameworks of inquiry had come to reflect a greater appreciation of the many facets of lived religion, a greater engagement with questions of how differently situated Christians interacted either among themselves or with others, and a greater openness to methodological innovation. The expansiveness in the general study of historical Christianity is nowhere more marked than in the study of Medieval Christianity. Over the course of the last forty years scholarship in this field sloughed off the dual trammels of confessional constructs and nationalist historiography. Scholars drawn to the study of medieval Christianity turned away from debates as to whether and how the “Medieval Church” achieved a sublime synthesis of Christian ideals on earth; or, on the other hand, stumbled through a long errancy from a pure gospel truth. Late twentieth century workers in the vineyard of Medieval Christianity found themselves challenged by the new themes of dominance, subversion, subjectivity, identity and alterity. Liberated from preoccupations as to whether and how it undergirded the imperium and collective virtues of one European country or another, “Medieval Christendom” simultaneously fractured, expanded and ramified. Nevertheless, while the study of Medieval Christianity was developing new frameworks of inquiry (eg. gender, popular practice, performance, Jewish-Christian relations, Muslim-Christian relations, ethnicity, subversion), it remained vigorous in many of its traditional categories (eg. hagiography, mysticism, liturgy, sermon literature, exegesis, monasticism). Taking a bird’s eye view, we can observe four general developments in recent and current work: 1) a continuation of a mid-century shift away from a close identification of Christianity with its largest, wealthiest and most conservative institutions; an interest in the diversity “within” Christian culture or a multiplicity of “cultures” within" @default.
