The God of the Middle Ages Jacques Le Goff, one of the best specialists on the Middle Ages, offers his personal perspective on the God of the medieval West. Officially, this God was unique, but was he really? We discover that the Christians of those times were, day to day, polytheistic. They addressed themselves sometimes to God the Father, sometimes to God the Son, sometimes to God the Spirit, and to the Virgin Mary.
Jacques Le Goff explores representations of God through political institutions, art, culture, theology, dogmas, practices, and the daily lives of men and women in medieval society. At the end of a fascinating investigation, conducted with Jean-Luc Pouthier, a true "history of God" is revealed, shedding light on what the contemporary West owes to medieval Christianity.
