An Outline of the History of Clerical Celibacy in Western Europe to the Council of Trent by Earl Evelyn Sperry is a historical account of the practice of celibacy among Christian clergy in Western Europe from the early Christian era to the Council of Trent in the 16th century. The book explores the origins and evolution of clerical celibacy as a requirement for ordination, and the various debates and controversies that surrounded the practice throughout history. It also examines the social, cultural, and political factors that influenced the adoption and enforcement of celibacy in different periods and regions. The author draws on a wide range of primary sources, including church documents, theological treatises, and historical records, to provide a comprehensive and scholarly overview of this important aspect of Christian history. The book is aimed at scholars and students of religious history, theology, and social history, as well as anyone interested in the evolution of Christian traditions and practices.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
