Was there a medieval Church? Is the modern Church based on it? Bénédicte Sère convincingly answers “no” to both questions. Both Churches instead are imaginative constructions. How they came to be so is the story of this book. In the process, it probes our assumptions about the very nature of knowledge, tradition, and interpretation. -- Barbara H. Rosenwein, Professor Emerita, Loyola University Chicago
