Summary:

"This book re-tells the story of how the Council of Constance ended the greatest Schism in Western Christendom, using a nuanced and critical analysis of the primary sources, It reframes this drama with the Council itself as the principal actor. The Council performed its own legitimacy and its unity through a process of consensual decision-making and by conducting its own. previously little noticed, diplomacy. It succeeded where previous attempts to end the Schism had failed through its collective non-violent resistance. Phillip H. Stump, emeritus professor of history from Lynchburg College in Virginia, USA, has spent his academic career in research and writing focused on medieval reform movements and on the Council of Constance (1414-1418). He has especially endeavored to make the original sources on these topics more accessible to scholars and to make history more useful to students"-- Provided by publisher.
