How to order this book
In the
seventh and eighth centuries, missionaries from Rome and Ireland
brought Christianity to England. The English piety which developed
resulted form the rich mingling of Celtic, Roman and Anglo-Saxon
influences.
In High King of Heaven, Benedicta Ward
explores the devotional life of the Anglo-Saxons in the first years
after their conversion: what they thought, said, did and prayed in the
light of the Gospel of Christ. The discussion concentrates on prayers,
corporate and individual, maily in Latin, but also in Anglo-Saxon, and
also on non-literary sources. She considers the Mediterranean
influences, as well as the Irish element.
