  • Training in Superstition? Monasteries and Popular Religion in Late Medieval and Reformation England

  • MARTIN HEALE
  • Journal:
    The Journal of Ecclesiastical History / Volume 58 / Issue 3 / July 2007

  • The monasteries of late medieval England are regularly viewed as marginal to the religious lives of the laity, and have been largely omitted from the revisionist depiction of the pre-Reformation Church. Similarly the Dissolution has often been seen primarily as a financial measure, with limited religious motivations or consequences. This article seeks to challenge both these conclusions by drawing attention to the role played by religious houses of all sizes as centres of national and local pilgrimage. It is argued that monasteries exerted a strong and enduring influence over popular piety through their saints' cults, and as a result attracted the hostility of both Erasmian and evangelical reformers in Henrician England. This hostility should be seen as an important ingredient in the Dissolution.

  • Allies or Merely Friends? John of Antioch and Nestorius in the Christological Controversy

  • DONALD FAIRBAIRN
  • Journal:
    The Journal of Ecclesiastical History / Volume 58 / Issue 3 / July 2007
    Published online by Cambridge University Press:

  • Starting with the fact that John of Antioch and Nestorius were friends, this article asks whether they were also theological allies, as is commonly assumed. Based on an examination of a letter written by John to Nestorius in November of ad 430, as well as other pertinent letters and documents, the author concludes that the two were not on the same side theologically, but that John was unaware of how fundamentally they disagreed. The relationship between John and Nestorius is then used to help interpret the proceedings at Ephesus in ad 431, the action of John and of Cyril of Alexandria in the Reunion of 433 and the Christological controversy as a whole.
