Synopsis
Unearthing the beginnings of the Slavic world and how they transformed Europe.
This book offers a clear, scholarly narrative of the Slavs’ origins, their peaceful settlement inside the Roman world, and their rise as traders, farmers, and lively communities. It also traces how Christianity entered their lands and reshaped their culture, politics, and identity.
The text situates the Slavs within a broad history of medieval Europe, showing how three major groups emerged and how the faith spread—from key centers like Kiev and Novgorod to the Polish realm. It highlights the influence of mission work, trade routes, and urban growth in laying the groundwork for a Christian Europe.- Learn how the Slavs moved from forest and marsh to farming towns and bustling ports in the Baltic region.
- See how conversion unfolded in Russia under Vladimir, the role of Cyril and Methodius, and the shaping power of the Greek church.
- Discover Poland’s reluctant but decisive shift to Christianity and the political dynamics behind it.
- Understand how language, names, and identity evolved as Slavic peoples interacted with neighboring cultures.
