ABSTRACT
Hugh of Amiens’ Three Books on the Church and Its Ministers [hereafter TBCM] (entitled by its first editors Against the Heretics of His Time) 2 not only offers a glimpse of how a reforming prelate structured the roles and functions of the clergy of mid-twelfth century Normandy but also provides a case-study of how one medieval thinker generated a theology of orders and ordination.
