I’m working on a research paper, and this is my topic.
This is my thesis statement:
The Christianization of Europe affected literary traditions by intertwining new Christian beliefs with old pagan traditions, making literature less for entertainment purposes and more for teaching Christian doctrine, and by reflecting the power of the church.
** Any ideas for: "making literature less for entertainment purposes and more for teaching Christian doctrine, and by reflecting the power of the church"?
well i believe the Church had literature printed in Latin therefore only educated people could read books such as the bible (teaching Christian doctrine)
this also demonstrated its power since books were the gateway to knowledge in that time and they controlled who could actually read them by printing them in Latin….for more in depth knowlege try googling it or just find it in your textbook…
