| Abstract | Doctrine and biblical exegesis, once classical topics in the historiography of heresy, are not very popular nowadays, not least because they came to be regarded as somewhat disconnected from social and political reality and from everyday life. By contrast, papers in this session will argue that doctrine and biblical exegesis were a core interest of medieval religious nonconformists, and that this area yields crucial information on their systems of orientation in 'real life'. |
