The Crucified God in the Carolingian Era: Theology and Art of Christ's Passion Book

The Carolingian 'renaissance' of the late eighth and ninth centuries, in what is now France, western Germany and northern Italy, transformed medieval European culture. At the same time it engendered a need to ensure that clergy, monks and laity embraced orthodox Christian doctrine. This book examines Carolingian thinking on the critical issue of the Passion. It considers how changes in the understanding of the Crucifixion are reflected in a range of contemporary writings, and the impact of those developments upon a selection of artistic representations of the crucified Christ.Read More
