Religious Education in Thirteenth-Century England: The Creed and Articles of Faith
In Religious Education in Thirteenth-Century England, Andrew Reeves examines how laypeople in a largely illiterate and oral culture learned the basic doctrines of the Christian religion. Although lay religious life is often assumed to have been a tissue of ignorance and superstition, this study shows basic religious training to have been broadly available to laity and clergy alike.
Reeves examines the nature, availability and circulation of sermon manuscripts as well as guidebooks to Christian teachings written for both clergy and literate laypeople. He shows that under the direction of a vigorous and reforming episcopate and aided by the preaching of the friars, clergy had a readily available toolkit to instruct their lay flocks.

Praise for this book
"This is a pleasing monograph that teems with valuable information about the Church's pastoral strategy and its desire to communicate a wholesome message to parishioners throughout the country. It will be useful for anyone who wishes to know more about pastoral aids that proliferated in the thirteenth century."
