Bede's Ecclesiastical History of England by Saint the Venerable Bede
"Bede's Ecclesiastical History of England" by Saint the Venerable Bede is a history written in about 731. This Latin work chronicles the growth of Christianity among the English people, from Julius Caesar's invasion in 55 BC to Bede's own time. Spanning five books, it traces the arrival of Augustine's mission, the spread of the faith through Anglo-Saxon kingdoms, and pivotal moments like the Council of Whitby. Drawing on documents, letters, and oral
testimony, Bede crafted what became a cornerstone of Anglo-Saxon history and English identity. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
