The Cambridge History of Christianity: Volume 4, Christianity in Western Europe, c. 1100–c. 1500 , edited by Miri Rubin and Walter Simons, examines the institutional growth, intellectual ferment, and lived experience of faith during the High and Late Middle Ages. It highlights the transition from cloistered monasticism to active mendicant orders, the rise of scholasticism, and the diverse, often contradictory, developments in popular piety and church authority.
