Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the early history of the Church of England, tracing its origins from the first whispers of Christianity in Britain to the eve of the Reformation under Henry VIII. You'll journey through a rich tapestry of events and personalities, exploring the struggles of a nascent faith against paganism and the machinations of the Roman Church. The author skillfully intertwines the story of the British Church with the broader historical context of the period, exploring the Roman influence on Britain, the arrival of the Angles and Saxons, and the turbulent cultural shifts that marked the transition from a Roman province to a collection of independent kingdoms. You'll meet key figures such as St. Alban, St. Ninian, and St. Patrick, learn about the spread of Pelagianism and the arrival of missionaries like Germanus and Lupus, and encounter the dramatic pronouncements of Gildas, a Welsh monk who paints a vivid picture of the British Church's challenges during the tumultuous sixth century. The book illuminates the evolving relationship between the Church of England and the Roman Papacy, revealing how the national church fought to maintain its autonomy and identity against the increasing power of the Pope. The author's meticulous research provides a unique insight into the roots of the Church of England's distinct character and its enduring fight for national identity, paving the way for the dramatic events of the Reformation that would come to define its future.
