Beskrivning

The articles in this volume complement and continue work brought together on the author's previous collection, God's Decree and Man's Destiny. The first part, focusing on Augustine, is largely devoted to the Pelagian controversy, but also includes an examination of Augustine's concept of deification and other aspects of his theology. The following essays deal with early Christianity in Britain, and in particular with the work of St Cuthbert and Bede, and the patristic traditions on which they drew, while the final ones present reflections on the history of the Church in Late Antiquity.

'Historians of early Anglo-Saxon Christianity should greet this volume with glee. Gerald Bonner...has over the years penned some wonderfully insightful articles and essays on early Northumbrian Christianity. Unfortunately, many have appeared in comparatively obscure periodicals and occasional publications. The appearance of this volume, however, now makes them widely available.' Church History, Vol. 67, No. 1
