Rate My Professor Matthew Gillis

Gillis's major publications include the monograph Heresy and Dissent in the Carolingian Empire: The Case of Gottschalk of Orbais (Oxford University Press, 2017), which examines the theological controversies and predicaments of the ninth-century monk Gottschalk of Orbais through his poetry, letters, and doctrinal positions. He edited Carolingian Experiments (Brepols, 2022), the inaugural volume in the Interdisciplinary Studies in the Middle Ages and Renaissance series from the Marco Institute, featuring essays on Carolingian innovations in various fields. Additional works encompass Religious Horror and Holy War in Viking Age Francia (Trivent Publishing, 2021), chapters such as "Headless and on the Road: Vagabond Monks in the Carolingian Era," and contributions to volumes like Ego Trouble: Authors and Their Identities in the Early Middle Ages (2010). He has published articles and book reviews in journals including Church History, Early Medieval Europe, and Augustinian Studies, and delivered numerous conference presentations on Carolingian theology and monasticism. His scholarship illuminates key dynamics of dissent and reform in the Carolingian world, influencing studies of early medieval religious history.
