Christians and Pagans: The Conversion of Britain from Alban to Bede.

Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langj�igem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Schutzumschlag berieben, Buchr�cken leicht ausgeblichen, innen gut und sauber / dust jacket rubbed, spine slightly faded, otherwise good and clean inside. - Christians and Pagans offers a comprehensive and highly readable account of the coming of Christianity to Britain, its coexistence or conflict with paganism, and its impact on the lives of both indigenous islanders and invading Anglo-Saxons. It also presents a full analysis of Christianity�s impact on cultural life, culminating in a succinct and penetrating account of the achievements of the Northumbrian renaissance. The Christianity of Roman Britain, so often treated in isolation, is here deftly integrated with the history of the British churches of the Celtic world, with Ireland, Iona and Pictland. Combining chronicle and literary evidence with the fruits of the latest archaeological research, Malcolm Lambert illuminates the ways in which the conversion process changed the hearts and minds of early Britain. / Contents List of Illustrations List of Maps Acknowledgements List of Abbreviations Introduction 1 The Lost Church: Christianity in Roman Britain 2 British Christians and Germanic Pagans 3 The Fate of the British 4 The Irish Dimension: Palladius, Patrick and Columba 5 The Mission from Rome 6 Oswald and Oswiu 7 Conflict and Reconciliation: Wilfrid and Theodore 8 Christian Britain Index.
