Synopsis :

"Bede (672-735) is known primarily as an historian for his Ecclesiastical History of the English People, but he was also an accomplished pedagogue, hagiographer, and biblical scholar. This book takes a fresh look at this classic Christian thinker, exploring the gamut of Bede's literary corpus. The book investigates key themes, including Bede's understanding of the theological significance of time, his conception of the relationship between the temporal and eternal orders within history, his theological use of rhetoric, his foray into narrative theology, and his spirituality. Bequette's thesis is that Bede was a theologian writing in continuity with the Christian tradition and yet making creative, original contributions to that tradition for the sake of his contemporaries, both in the monastery and in the culture at large"--

À propos de l'auteur: John P. Bequette is professor of philosophy and theology at the University of St. Francis (Ind.)
