Lacked: access to Bible (esp. own language); God very distant (in heaven judging) & Jesus divinity, not humanity; no developed sense of individual/personal piety; almost no education about doctrine. CHANGE 1. Renaissance: 1300-1500 = re-birth of antiquity. 2. Christology: from almost solely divine Jesus to more human Jesus. 3.

  • 1000-1500 Monks and Scholars How a Movement Born in Egypt‘S Desert Brought Learning to the European Peoples, and Agitated for Reform
    European Studies Course, Copenhagen • Jan - Jun 2012 • Module Two EUROPE YESTERDAY: RECOVERING THE PAST 1000-1500 Monks and Scholars How a movement born in Egypt‘s desert brought learning to the European peoples, and agitated for reform. A. A Christian society emerges: power, wealth and corruption 1. Europe at the turn of the millennium We have seen the emergence of ‘Europe’ through the common adoption of Christianity by the peoples migrating into the western peninsula of Eurasia. Firstly the Greek and Roman peoples embraced Christianity, and the peoples absorbed into the Roman Empire, including Egyptians. Then the monastic movement starting in Egypt spread east and west, impacting Gaul, Ireland, Scotland and England, and the Celtic and Roman forms merging into the Anglo-Celtic missions of Willibrord and Boniface to reach across to the Friesians and Germans. An eastern expression, led by Cyril and Methodius, spread up from Greece among the Slavs to today’s Czech Republic. Rivalry between west (Latin) and east (Greek) had flared at times into political and ecclesiastical antagonism: attacks on icons, different calendars, celibacy, tonsures. Under Charlemagne, the Carolingian (Frankish) Empire peaked and then split up. The ongoing invasions of Magyars (Hungarians) and Vikings brought further trouble, before they too were finally Christianised around the end of the first millennium. The church’s uneasy relationship with power, begun with Constantine, continues throughout the centuries. Emperors and kings clashed with popes as to who had final authority. So while it was clear that as the second millennium began, Christianity had succeeded in becoming the accepted faith and worldview, it was also obvious that God’s Kingdom of ‘shalom’ had not been ushered in.

    Devotion and Obedience: A devotio moderna construction of St Bridget of Sweden in Lincoln Cathedral Chapter Manuscript 114 Sara Danielle Mederos Doctor of Philosophy October 2016 Devotion and Obedience: A devotio moderna construction of St Bridget of Sweden in Lincoln Cathedral Chapter Manuscript 114 Sara Danielle Mederos A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the University of Lincoln for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy October 2016 2 Abstract This thesis analyses the construction of the pious lay female in Lincoln Cathedral Manuscript MS 114, through the example of Saint Bridget of Sweden. MS 114 is a devotional manuscript compiled of nineteen different, individual, articles. These nineteen articles are arranged in two, nearly equal, parts. The first part includes several Birgittine texts whereas the second part provides a more thematic approach, emphasising the virtues of humility, chastity, and overall spiritual obedience. Compiled in the Netherlands, sometime during the early fifteenth century, MS 114’s articles were purposely chosen to form a single compilation and was meant to be read as an enhancement of one’s devotion. By analysing the contents of MS 114, its date and provenance, and putting it in the context of the religious movements of its original time and place, this thesis argues that MS 114 was an early manuscript of the devotio moderna movement; a religious movement which attracted many lay devotees and particular female members and which emphasised the use of literature and, in particular, of written examples of holy, female lay lives. MS 114 uses the life of Bridget of Sweden, other works about her, and extracts from other theological texts to explore two devotio moderna virtues.

  • Why Did the Netherlands Develop So Early? the Legacy of the Brethren of the Common Life
    CPB Discussion Paper | 228 Why Did the Netherlands Develop so Early? The Legacy of the Brethren of the Common Life İ. Semih Akçomak Dinand Webbink Bas ter Weel Why Did the Netherlands Develop so Early? The Legacy of the Brethren of the Common Life* İ. Semih Akçomak Middle East Technical University [email protected] Dinand Webbink Erasmus University Rotterdam and CPB [email protected] Bas ter Weel CPB and Maastricht University [email protected] Abstract This research provides an explanation for high literacy, economic growth and societal developments in the Netherlands in the period before the Dutch Republic. We establish a link between the Brethren of the Common Life (BCL), a religious community founded by Geert Groote in the city of Deventer in the late fourteenth century, and the early development of the Netherlands. The BCL stimulated human capital accumulation by educating Dutch citizens without inducing animosity from the dominant Roman Catholic Church or other political rulers. Human capital had an impact on the structure of economic development in the period immediately after 1400. The educated workforce put pressure on the Habsburg monarchy leading to economic and religious resentment and eventually to the Revolt in 1572. The analyses show that the BCL contributed to the high rates of literacy in the Netherlands. In addition, there are positive effects of the BCL on book production and on city growth in the fifteenth and sixteenth century. Finally, we find that cities with BCL-roots were more likely to join the Dutch Revolt. These findings are supported by regressions that use distance to Deventer as an instrument for the presence of BCL.
