Book Details
The mission of St. Augustine of Canterbury and the subsequent conversion of the pagan Anglo-Saxons to Christianity had dramatic political, social and cultural implications as well as religious ones." "The story of this momentous process is here told in a series of interlinked, fully illustrated chapters, written by leading experts in the field who shed new light on a crucial period in the early development of England and its church. The sixteen chapters consider the achievement of Augustine, examine his commemoration and cult, reassess the role of Gregory the Great, explore the phenomenon of conversion itself, and evaluate its broader cultural implications. St. Augustine and the Conversion of England will be required reading for anyone interested in the history of the Church, the Anglo-Saxons and the origins of England.
