It is likely that the gospel was brought to Britain in Roman times
by merchants and soldiers from Gaul. The author offers a details
and balanced history of the events of these years. While his main
theme is the conversion of the English to the Christian faith, his
account is not narrowly ecclesiastical: he is concerned as much
with the notable personalities and cultural achievements as with
the fluctuating fortunes of the Church itself, the growth of its
institutions and the work of its missions. The sixteen plates,
including some illustrations seldom or never previously reproduced,
give rich evidence of Anglo-Saxon taste and skill. there are six
maps, an extensive bibliography, and full notes and references. No
history of the Old English Church of a comparable size and scope
has appeared in this century; and since Mr Godfrey's approach is
both informed and uncomplicated, his book will be equally enjoyed
by the scholar and the general reader.
