| Description: |
“Educating People of Faith” creates a portrait of the lived practices that shaped the faith of Jews and Christians in synagogues and churches from antiquity up to the seventeenth century. Jewish, Roman Catholic, Orthodox, and Protestant scholars contribute their thoughts using the concept of “practices” as they attend to the embodied, contextual character of religious formation. They study religious figures, community life, and traditional practices such as preaching, sacraments, and catechesis. In addition, the contributors cover the nature of religious education across all social levels, from the textual formation of highly literate rabbis and monks engaged in Scripture study to the local formation of illiterate medieval Christians for whom the veneration of saints’ shrines, street performances of religious dramas, and public sermons by wandering preachers were profoundly formative. |
