| Title | Preaching the Passion in Fourteenth-century Bohemia: The Rhetoric of Good Friday Sermons |
| Summary | This dissertation sheds light on the nature of late medieval Bohemian piety by tracing the evolution and peculiarities of Good Friday sermons composed in Bohemia between the 1330s and the 1370s. Good Friday sermons were one of the most elaborated forms of late medieval preaching and became crucial in shaping the devotion and religious experience of the time, which increasingly focused on intensified forms to actively commemorate the Passion of Christ. The main objective of the dissertation is to examine the doctrinal, literary, and pastoral norms and peculiarities of composing Good Friday sermons and possible reasons for these characteristics. |
