• Sommario/riassunto: Michelle P. Brown's 'Bede and the Theory of Everything' explores the life and intellectual achievements of Bede, an Anglo-Saxon monk and scholar. Bede is celebrated for his comprehensive approach to knowledge, integrating arts, sciences, and faith in pursuit of a unified understanding of the universe, akin to a 'theory of everything.' His influential works, particularly the 'History of the English People,' established him as a pivotal figure in medieval scholarship and Church history. The book examines Bede's contributions to various fields, including history, theology, and science, highlighting his role as a Church Father and his lasting influence on Western intellectual history. Intended for readers interested in medieval history and the development of scientific and religious thought, the book situates Bede's achievements within the broader context of post-Roman Europe.
