Annotation: During the Middle Ages, interpretations of important ideas such as sin, justice and liberty were developed and explored through the interplay between law and theology. "Law and Theology in the Middle Ages" is a unique work that examines the relationship between theology and law. This useful and accessible book bridges the gap between the two fields by comparing the treatment of overlapping themes by each discipline. These theological and legal concepts include sin/crime, justice/righteousness, and forgiveness/punishment.
