And Some Fell into Good Soil: A History of Christianity in Iceland: 201 (American University Studies, Series 7: Theology & Religion) - Hardcover
'And Some Fell into Good Soil' is a history of Christianity in Iceland from the first settlement of the country around A.D. 870 to the present time. Three major turning points are emphasized: the official conversion of Iceland to Christianity in A.D. 1000; the Reformation around 1550; and the transition to the modern age around 1900. The only previous history of Icelandic Christianity written in English was published in 1946. The present book is aimed at the general reader, and has special relevance in view of the upcoming thousandth anniversary of the adoption of Christianity by Iceland.

Review:
-This is the only comprehensive survey of Icelandic Church history available in English since 1946. It is carefully dependent on reliable sources, is balanced in presenting scholarly theories and twentieth-century religious conflicts, and has a fine bibliography. It provides a very clear path through the maze of names and events.- (Professor Gordon Lathrop, Lutheran Theological Seminary)

Book Description A History of Christianity in Iceland. Starting from the first settlement of the country around A.D. 870, this study traces the most important trends, happenings, and personages involved in the history of the Christian faith in Iceland. Rather than adopting a sociological perspective, the study aims to focus on the individual, spiritual level, analyzing the inner workings of those involved in terms of the manifestation or the absence of authentic Christian faith. Three major turning points are emphasized: the official conversion of Iceland to Christianity in A.D. 1000, the Reformation around 1550, and the transition to the modern age around 1900.
