Cambridge University Press History and the Supernatural in Medieval England
Book SynopsisThis is a fascinating study of religious culture in England from 1050 to 1250. Drawing on the wealth of material about religious belief and practice that survives in the chronicles, the book challenges prevailing assumptions and sheds light on belief during a period in which the religious landscape was transformed.Trade ReviewReview of the hardback: 'This important book is marked by sophisticated reflection, thorough and wide use of sources, and crisp writing. … Watkins's views are often persuasive as well as original, and they ought to provoke much discussion.' Church History'History and the Supernatural in Medieval England is a welcome addition to the literature on twelfth-century culture and a stimulating intervention into debates about medieval religion and historiography … [Watkin's] discussion is unfailingly provocative, clear-eyed and engaging. Combined with the chapter studies of saints, magical powers, and the dead, this book has much to teach us; it should be required reading for anyone interested in these topics.'

Church TimesReview of the hardback: '… a very stimulating collection …' Church of England NewspaperReview of the hardback: '… offers significant insights into the ways in which the place of Christianity in western European life changed during the period … the book bristles with ideas and insights … invaluable for the perspectives that they offer.'

Cambridge University Press Saeculum History and Society in the Theology of St Augustine Royal Institute of Philosophy Lectures
Book SynopsisIn this book Professor Markus's main concern is with those aspects of Augustine's thought which help to answer questions about the purpose of human society, and particularly with his reflections on history, society and the Church. He relates Augustine's ideas to their contemporary context and to older traditions, and shows which aspects of his thought he absorbed from his intellectual environment. Augustine appears from this study as a thinker who rejected the 'sacralization' of the established order of society, and the implications of this for a theology of history are explored in the last chapter.Trade Review'This is a fresh … study of one of Christianity's perennially interesting thinkers.' The Times Literary Supplement'It is impossible adequately to summarise this book, which well merits full and carefully considered reading.' Journal of Roman Studies''Markus' monograph offers a brilliant introduction to a very subtle aspect of Augustinian thought, and shows once again that the Bishop of Hippo, as in so many other areas, anticipated many of the original insights of modern secularist theology.'
