Beskrivelse
The granting of indulgences by the Catholic Church has long been infamous asone of the groundsfor Martin Luther s revolt from Christianity in the sixteenth century. Modern scholars have usually characterizedthe medieval practice as a defective one.In "The Penitents Treasury," historian Robert W. Shaffern debunks this argument through a reexamination of indulgences that shows how their alleged evils have been exaggerated throughout history. This provocative volume, a necessary read for anyone interested in medieval history and the history of religion, calls for much rethinking about the state of the church on the eve of the Reformation."
