Bede and the Cosmos examines Bede's cosmology-his understanding of
the universe and its laws. It explores his ideas regarding both the
structure and mechanics of the created world and the relationship
of that world to its Creator. Beginning with On the Nature of
Things and moving on to survey his writings in other genres, it
demonstrates the key role that natural philosophy played in shaping
Bede's worldview, and explores the ramifications that this had on
his cultural, theological and historical thought. From questions
about angelic bodies and the destruction of the world at judgement
day, to subtle arguments about free will and the meaning of
history, Bede's fascinating and unique engagement with the natural
world is explored in this comprehensive study.
