Abstract | 2015 marks the 80th anniversary of the first publication of Herbert Grundmann's monumental study Religious Movements in the Middle Ages and the 20th anniversary of its translation into English. Part of a strand exploring the origins and impact of Grundmann's historiographical legacy, this session investigates the lingering influence of his conceptual framework of 'religious movements'. Of particular interest is the scholarly relationship between that concept and other socio-spiritual phenomena not traditionally associated with 'religious movements'. This session considers how the trends of reform and renewal which Grundmann identified might fit in relation to other religious movements he did now explicitly take up. |
