Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a comprehensive history of the Christian mission to Northumbria, one of the seven Anglo-Saxon kingdoms, from its outset in the 6th century. The author, himself a presbyter in the Church of England, traces the impact of these early missionaries, particularly the Scottish monks from the island of Iona, on the religious and political life of the Northumbrian people. Significant figures from this era such as St. Aidan, St. Cuthbert, and St. Wilfrid come to life in these pages, their work and devotions examined against the background of the often turbulent times in which they lived. The book places the Northumbrian mission within the broader context of the Christianization of England, showing how the work of these early missionaries laid the foundations for the later development of the English Church. In doing so, the author draws on archaeological evidence, contemporary sources such as the writings of the Venerable Bede, and later medieval chronicles to present a vivid and authentic account of this pivotal period in English history. Ultimately, this book is an exploration of the fundamental role that faith played in shaping the destiny of a nation. By examining the lives and work of these early missionaries, the author sheds light on the values and beliefs that have shaped the course of English history, offering fresh insights into the nature of religious belief and its impact on human societies. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
