Did the Middle Ages Believe in their Miracles?
A great distance separates Caroline Bynum's delicate excavations of medieval experiences believing in God from Charles Taylor's charming assumption that medieval belief was experience of God, but the road between them runs straight: Taylor's picture witnesses not the failure but the consequences of historical and cultural studies that treat religious belief as a black box. Despite a whole field's best efforts to make it something else, the operat…

Shameless”
The pejorative “shameless,” applied liberally to religious and intellectual antagonists until quite recently, now has a distinct period feel, and has frequently and casually been taken to justify diagnosing those who use it as “anxious.” The essay shows that the accusation of shamelessness has a precise and fairly stable sense from antiquity through the Enlightenment; that this sense differs materially from what modern readers and scholars typica…
Eucharistic Miracle and Eucharistic Doubt
Scholarship has routinely assumed that the many medieval eucharistic miracle stories about hosts witnessed as discernibly the body of Christ — newborn, bloody, crucified, or dismembered — were designed to quell doubts in the doctrine of the Mass with coercive ocular confirmation. But the stories themselves trade on the fact that they could not do so, and theological explanations of the doctrine show that they should not be expected to; both the n…
Did the Middle Ages Believe in Their Miracles
For all the proud accomplishments of its last decades, the study of premodern Christianity continues to bruise its shins against the problem of "belief." New categorical explanations of religious belief repeatedly and inadvertently prove identical with old explanations; more oddly, so do categorical refusals to explain it. The fallacy lies in thinking that belief can be categorically identified in the first place. But recognition of the fallacy d…

Written Work
Critics of Piers Plowman have often behaved as if the great fourteenth-century English poem were written by committee, Written Work marks a major shift in orientation by focusing on William Langland instead of Piers Plowman . The five original historicist studies collected here are less concerned with searching for Langland's identity in medieval records than with examining the marks, even scars, left on him by the history he touched. Derek Pears…
