Beyond Catholicism (eBook, PDF)

Heresy, Mysticism, and Apocalypse in Italian Culture

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

The essays within Beyond Catholicism trace the interconnections of belief, heresy, and mysticism in Italian culture from the Middle Ages to today. In particular, they explore how religious discourse has unfolded within Italian culture in the context of shifting paradigms of rationality, authority, time, good and evil, and human collectivities.
