The dominance of its teaching over a thousand years enabled it to set the moral agenda of society and determine the intellectual life of the period. How it did so, together with its struggle to preserve its autonomy from the power of secular rulers, are the central themes of this book. 0aChurch historyyMiddle Ages, 600-1500. 0aEuropexChurch historyy600-1500.413Table of contents onlyuhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0637/98013920-t.html  2ddc  c46761d46761  00102ddc4070840aMAINbMAINcOPENd2016-04-20eDonationg32.11l0o270.3/THOp15736r2016-04-20 00:00:00t1v50.00w2016-04-20yAM
