Synopsis
This book analyses and describes the roles of several key bishops and their impact on how Christianity was established in Anglo -Saxon England. The author begins by discussing the initial spread of Christianity to the southern counties of England before the arrival of St Augustine in 597 and the subsequent spread of the faith in the north of England up to 668. The book goes on to consider how the north of England accepted the 'Roman' method of calculating the incidence of Easter, after a period where a difference in views on this question between the Irish (or Scotic) and Roman Churches had led to much discussion and debate. The author also discusses the political and personal relationships between the kings of the different Anglo -Saxon kingdoms at this time and how this further shaped the establishment of Christianity. This book will appeal to students and teachers of history and theology and anyone with a general interest in the development of the Church of England.
