medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture There is a more recent edition of the book John Dillon mentioned: E.C. Whitaker and Maxwell Johnson, _Documents of the Baptismal Liturgy_, 3rd rev. and expanded ed. (Collegeville, MN: Liturgical Press, 2003). A good secondary survey is J.D.C. Fischer, _Christian Initiation: Baptism in the Medieval West_ (London: SPCK, 1965). The names Stan Metheny mentioned are good leads for more recent work. You might try Maxwell Johnson, _The Rites of Christian Initiation: Their Evolution and Interpretation_ (Collegeville, MN: Liturgical Press, 1999). Many surveys since the 1960s (like Aidan Kavanaugh's) tend to dismiss the medieval period as a dissolution of the earlier ideal (for instance, confirmation was separated from baptism) and therefore don't give much information. --Jonathan Hall ********************************************************************** To join the list, send the message: join medieval-religion YOUR NAME to: [log in to unmask] To send a message to the list, address it to: [log in to unmask] To leave the list, send the message: leave medieval-religion to: [log in to unmask] In order to report problems or to contact the list's owners, write to: [log in to unmask] For further information, visit our web site: http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/medieval-religion.html
