Ian Wood

The Missionary Life

Saints and the Evangelisation of Europe 400-1050

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

A wide-ranging account of missionary life, this text gives a sense of the individual experience and collective ethos of the mission, the missionaries' influence on communities and their links to the rest of Christendom.

---

Missionaries were not only the agents of change, but also some of Europe's first historians. This uniquely wide-ranging account tells the history of the christianisation of Western Europe through investigation of the lives of the missionaries. Unravelling unreliable and partial sources, Ian Wood produces a compelling survey of European evangelisation, and brings a remote age to life.
