Description
The Friars: The Impact of the Mendicant Orders on Medieval Society By C.H. Lawrence Published by Bloomsbury Academic in 2013. In medieval society, a new challenge emerged as the Church faced opposition from a growing secular culture. In response, the Franciscan and Dominican orders developed around charismatic figures Saint Francis of Assisi and Saint Dominic of Osma. These mendicant friars took an unconventional approach to their work, sending preachers into the world to spread God's message rather than retreating to enclosed monasteries. This study by C.H. Lawrence examines the origins and growth of these orders, as well as their impact on medieval society in politics, education, and religion. The result is a nuanced understanding of this pivotal moment in history.
