Frank argues that these objects reflect the humanity and agency of the people who created and used them, emphasizing the concept of "crafting" as an ongoing process rather than a completed act. The book examines various aspects of Christian rituals, including baptism, processions, and liturgical experiences, while also addressing the emotional complexities involved, including the darker sides of emotional manipulation. Although the analysis raises questions about the definition of "ordinary Christians" and the effectiveness of rituals, it is praised for its compassionate and insightful exploration of the lived experiences of individuals in this historical context. pubtype: Review doctype: Book Review src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y dt: @attributes: year: 2025 holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
