| Description: |
An analysis of female penitents and the revival of Catholic institutions and spirituality that produced a burst of religious construction during the French wars of religion. It argues that the spiritual imperatives of self-mortification and renunciation influenced not just those with religious careers but also the behaviour of devout lay women. |
| Synopsis: |
Between Penitence and Charity analyzes female penitents and the revival of Catholic institutions and spirituality that produced a stunning burst of religious construction during the French wars of religion. Diefendorf argues that the spiritual imperatives of self-mortification and renunciation of will that lay at the heart of this penitential piety profoundly influenced not just those with religious careers but also the behavior of devout lay women. |
