medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Dear Meg,
In addition to the studies already mentioned, you might find Ane Bysted's
dissertation "In merit as well as in reward. Indulgences, Spiritual Merit,
and the Theology of the Crusades c. 1095-1216." very interesting.
For a pdf, please see:

Best wishes,
Sini Kangas
