Acerca de esta escucha
Bloomsbury presents Royal Books and Holy Bones written and read by Eamon Duffy.
In these vivid and approachable essays Eamon Duffy engages with some of the central aspects of Western religion in the thousand years between the decline of pagan Rome and the rise of the Protestant Reformation.
In the process he opens windows on the vibrant and multifaceted beliefs and practices by which medieval people made sense of their world: the fear of death and the impact of devastating pandemic, holy war against Islam and the invention of the blood libel against the Jews, provision for the afterlife and the continuing power of the dead over the living, the meaning of pilgrimage and the evolution of Christian music. Duffy unpicks the stories of the Golden Legend and Yale University’s mysterious Voynich manuscript, discusses the cult of ‘St’ Henry VI and explores childhood in the Middle Ages.
In this highly listenable collection Eamon Duffy once more challenges existing scholarly narratives and sheds new light on the religion of Britain and Europe before and during the Reformation.

This prize-winning account of the pre-Reformation church recreates lay people's experience of religion, showing that late-medieval Catholicism was neither decadent nor decayed, but a strong and vigorous tradition. For this edition, Duffy has written a new introduction reflecting on recent developments in our understanding of the period.

Benedict XVI: A Life offers insight into the young life and rise through the Church’s ranks of a man who would become a hero and a lightning rod for Catholics the world over. Based on countless hours of interviews in Rome with Benedict himself, this two-volume biography is the definitive record of the life of Joseph Ratzinger and the legacy of Pope Benedict XVI. This first volume follows his early life, from his days growing up in Germany and his conscription into the Hitler Youth during WWII to his career as an academic theologian and eventual archbishop of Munich.

Historia5 out of 5 stars 122
On May 8, 1373, 30-year-old Julian of Norwich, sick and near death, had a series of visions of Christ. In these 16 visions she learnt about God's loving nature. God in Julian's visions was not angry and wrathful. Instead, the three properties of God were presented as life, love and light, and all of His creation was good, including his servant, man. In Julian's version, Man is not to blame for his sin; instead it is something that he must experience and overcome in his spiritual journey with God.

Carlos Eire, popular professor and gifted writer, chronicles the 200-year era of the Renaissance and Reformation with particular attention to issues that persist as concerns in the present day. Eire connects the Protestant and Catholic Reformations in new and profound ways, and he demonstrates convincingly that this crucial turning point in history not only affected people long gone but continues to shape our world and define who we are today.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 41
The Ecclesiastical History of the English People was written in Latin by the Venerable Bede (673-735), a Benedictine monk living in Northumbria, an important Christian centre in the eighth century. It is a remarkable document, tracing, in general, early Anglo-Saxon history, and in particular, as the title proclaims, the growth and establishment of Christianity against the backdrop of the political life.

good story
- De Henry Harrity en 04-21-20
To give one example for illustration: In the essay on family life / childhood, he talks about how there was a time in recent scholarship when medieval families were presented as cold, relentlessly public communes where children were treated as miniature adults, put to work as soon as they were able and for whom their parents had no emotional bond or investment. A series of books later argued against this stereotype, showing that family life and childhood is not a social construct, but a human constant, even in the Middle Ages. Duffy largely embraces this conclusion, but makes qualifying remarks about the books that have argued for the thesis, noting several defects in their argument that limit the scope of the conclusion that can be drawn.
Duffy is widely respected as one of the greatest contemporary historians of medieval England. He reads the book himself, which is, in my view, a plus. He has a very pleasant voice and pronounces everything how he himself intended it to be pronounced. The Audible description says the audio quality isn't good, but I beg to differ. There were one or two times where I could hear him turning the page, but I'd say it was better audio quality and narration than many of the books I've listened to on Audible.
