Inhaltsangabe

""Conversion of the West: The English"" is a historical book written by George Frederick Maclear in 1878. The book examines the spread of Christianity in England, from the arrival of St. Augustine in 597 AD to the Protestant Reformation in the 16th century. Maclear explores the various factors that contributed to the conversion of the English, including the influence of the Roman Empire, the impact of the Vikings, and the role of the Church in promoting Christianity.The book is divided into several chapters, each focusing on a different period in English history. Maclear provides detailed accounts of key events, such as the Synod of Whitby in 664 AD, which established the Roman rite of Christianity in England, and the reign of King Henry VIII, which saw the break from Rome and the establishment of the Church of England.Throughout the book, Maclear emphasizes the importance of Christianity in shaping English culture and society. He argues that the conversion of the English was a pivotal moment in Western history, paving the way for the development of modern Europe.Overall, ""Conversion of the West: The English"" is a comprehensive and insightful look at the history of Christianity in England.

Reseña del editor

The wave of migration which flung the Celt upon the European Continent, was succeeded by a second wave, which bore other tribes from the same A ryan homes to the frontiers of the Roman Empire. The masters of the world chose to call these new comers, as they called the Greeks, by a name which was not their own. This name for them was Germans, A mongst themselves, on the other hand, they were Diutisc, Thiudisco, Deutscher, or, in its Latin form. Teutons. Into the greater part of their country the Romans never penetrated after the times of Drusus and Germanicus. They regarded them as barbarians, but admired the austerity and purity of their manners, the honour they paid their women, their spirit ot independence, and warlike energy. They never dreamt II.
