Bailey sheds new light on these sermons, which were strikingly popular and influential from late antiquity to the High Middle Ages, as the large number of surviving manuscripts attests. They were used for centuries by clergy as a preaching guide and by monks and pious lay people as devotional reading. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBailey's analysis demonstrates the extent to which these stylistically simple and straightforward sermons emphasize consensus, harmony, and mutuality as the central values of a congregation. Preachers encouraged tolerance among their congregants and promoted a model of leadership that placed themselves at the center of the community rather than above it. These sermons make clear the delicate balancing act required of late antique and early medieval pastors as they attempted to explain the Christian faith and also maintain the clerical control considered necessary for a universal church. The \u003ci\u003eEusebius Gallicanus\u003c\/i\u003e collection gives us fresh insight into the process by which the Catholic Church influenced the lives of Western Europeans.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLisa Kaaren Bailey is a senior lecturer in the Departments of Classics and Ancient History and of History at the University of Auckland.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 288\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.8 x 9 x 5.9 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 15, 2010\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45305914687590,"sku":"9780268022242","price":70.65,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/7255\/0758\/files\/TU44NFBYbEhPbnVKQlVadVJJdWxOQT09.webp?v=1774065032","url":"https:\/\/infinitylightwa.com\/products\/christianitys-quiet-success-the-eusebius-gallicanus-sermon-collection-and-the-power-of-the-church-in-late-antique-gaul-paperback","provider":"Infinity Light","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
