Description: "Order and Exclusion is a rare and magnificent book of medieval history with clear relevance to today's headlines. Through the lens of the polemics of Peter the Venerable, abbot of Cluny, Dominique Iogna-Prat examines the process by which Christianity transformed itself into Christendom, a powerful spiritual, social, and political system with pretensions to universality."--BOOK JACKET.
