What is martyrdom, what are the political and cultural implications of martyr cults, and to what propagandist uses might they be put? Such questions are probed, from the women martyrs of the early church,through the medieval period —the little known martyrs of Anglo-Saxon England and Kievan Russia, as well as Thomas Becket —tothe martyr-saints of the Reformation. Some modern material.

Martyrs and Martyrologies (Studies in Church History)

A collection of over 30 essays by a team of international scholars, featuring children in the Church. The contributions range in time from the nativity to the 20th century. In their historical approach they are theological, theoretical, educational, economic, artistic and literary, liturgical and musical. They raise questions such as: when did childhood begin and end? How deep were the bonds of affection binding Christian parents and children at different periods? Was there, indeed, such a thing as childhood, or were children merely little adults? And how should Christian children be educated? The ways children worshipped, and their participation in the liturgy are recurrent themes. Discussion of childrens' musical contributions extends from the 14th-century choristers of Norwich and the Lichfield choristers of the Reformation period, to the 20th-century choirgirls of Salisbury Cathedral.

The Church and Childhood (Studies in Church History, Vol. 31)

Devout northern lay women and men, Puritan earls, godly preachers, heretics, family members, northern bishops and archbishops, priests and monks -all these feature in this collection of original essays on medieval and early modern ecclesiastical life and thought in the north of England, as is appropriate for a volume honouring the work of Claire Cross, who has made such a major contribution to the history of the northern Church. The book covers the great and the good connected in some way with the area, whether northern inhabitants, or those who operated within a wider context: Archbishop Thomas Arundel, for example, whose career is radically reinterpreted; the breadth of Professor Cross's interests is also reflected, from grammar schools and early printed books to episcopal jurisdiction and administration, and the interpretation of archives, especially wills. There are also pieces on other vital aspects of the area: the healing wells and springs, the symbolism surrounding northern bishops and their seals and mitres, and an account of the performance of Corpus Christi plays in the north. Together, the essays offer fresh insights into the northern church through a turbulent period in its history. Contributors: R.B. Dobson, Peter Biller, Rosalind Hill, Diana Wood, Michael Wilks, Anne Hudson, Robert N. Swanson, David Smith, P.J.P. Goldberg, Ann Rycraft, Margaret Aston, Alexandra Walsham, Christopher Webb, David Marcombe, David Loades, Jane E.A. Dawson, David Lamburn, W.J. Sheils, Christine M.
