Description
Summary:This work is a study of the Carolingians' efforts to form a Christian Empire with the organizing principle of the sacrament of baptism. Dr Phelan argues that baptism offered a medium for the communication and popularization of beliefs and ideas, through which the Carolingian Renewal established the vision of an imperium christianum in Europe.
