Francis Oakley addresses late-medieval church history in its own terms, pointing out not only discontinuities but also continuities with earlier medieval experience. "By doing so," he writes, "I hope to have avoided the distortions and refractions that occur when that history is seen too obsessively through the lens of the Reformation."

Reviews for The Western Church in the Later Middle Ages
"Few scholars can match Francis Oakley's grasp of the complex issues facing the Christian church during the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries; fewer still can write about such issues with Oakley's clarity and graceful style. This book offers a marvelously readable survey of the problems and personalities that dominated European religious life in the later Middle Ages."—Speculum
