How Christian was England in c. 700? 330 $a"This groundbreaking work treats the Christianization of the Anglo-Saxons as a process of religious change and is the first to establish the importance of Christian doctrines and popular intuitions about death and the dead in the transition, focusing on the outbreak of epidemic disease between 664 and 687 as a crucial period for the survival of Christianity in Anglo-Saxon England. It analyzes Anglo-Saxon conceptions of the soul and afterlife as well as traditional mortuary rituals, re-interpreting archaeological evidence to argue that the change from furnished to unfurnished burial in the late seventh and early eighth century demonstrates the success of the church's attempts to counter popular fears that the plague was caused by the return of the dead to carry off the living. The study employs ethnographic comparisons and anthropological theory to further our understanding of pagan Anglo-Saxon deities, ritual and ritual practitioners, and also considers the challenges confronting the Anglo-Saxon church, as it faced not only popular attachment to traditional values and beliefs, but also gendered responses to, or syncretistic constructions of, Christianity."--Bloomsbury Publishing. 606 $aAnglo-Saxons$xReligion 606 $aChristian converts$zEngland 606 $aConversion$xChristianity$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aPaganism$zEngland$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $2Early history: c 500 to c 1450/1500 607 $aEngland$xChurch history$y449-1066 607 $aEngland$xReligious life and customs 607 $aGreat Britain$xHistory$yAnglo-Saxon period, 449-1066 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAnglo-Saxons$xReligion. 615 0$aChristian converts 615 0$aConversion$xChristianity$xHistory 615 0$aPaganism$xHistory 676 $a274.202 700 $aDunn$b Marilyn$0602704 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910464468203321 996 $aThe Christianization of the Anglo-Saxons, c. 597-700$92254648 997 $aUNINA LEADER 00979nam0-2200301 --450 001 9910448357703321 005 20230907103240.0 020 $aIT$b644936 100 $a20210429d1963----kmuy0itay5050 ba 101 0 $aita$amul 102 $aIT 105 $a 001yy 200 1 $aA Cesare Baronio$escritti vari$ftesti di E.
