medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture Presumably you are aware of Dee Dyas's work on this - eg her book Images of Faith in English Literature (Longman, 1997). I teach very mixed-age groups of undergraduates: I am often surprised at how little even the older ones know about Christianity, though it was an eighteen year old who admitted to me a couple of years ago that he couldn't remember which one was Jesus and which one was Buddha. I tend to use a lot of visual imagery to give them a basic overview, working on the basis that that is how the medieval peasant would have learned.
