Revered by contemporaries and posterity for both his sanctity and
his scholarship, Bede (672-735) is a pivotal figure in the history
of the Church. Known primarily as an historian for his
Ecclesiastical History of the English People, Bede was also an
accomplished pedagogue, hagiographer, and biblical scholar. Bede
the Theologian: History, Rhetoric, and Spirituality takes a fresh
look at this classic Christian thinker, exploring the gamut of
Bede's literary corpus. The book investigates key themes, including
Bede's understanding of the theological significance of time, his
conception of the relationship between the temporal and eternal
orders within history, his theological use of rhetoric, his foray
into narrative theology, and his spirituality. The purpose of this
volume is to introduce the reader to principal theological themes
in Bede's thought. Bequette's thesis is that Bede was a theologian
writing in continuity with the Christian tradition and yet making
creative, original contributions to that tradition for the sake of
his contemporaries, both in the monastery and in the culture at
large. The method involves a close reading and analysis of key
texts within Bede's corpus of writings. These texts include the
Ecclesiastical History of the English People, the Life of St
Cuthbert, and several of Bede's biblical commentaries (On the
Tabernacle, On the Temple) his homilies, and didactic treatises (On
the Reckoning of Time, Concerning Figures and Tropes in Sacred
Scripture). Bede the Theologian: History, Rhetoric, and
Spirituality constitutes a scholarly study of Bede's thought as an
integral whole, identifying key themes and ideas that pervade his
writings. Thus, it can serve as an introduction to Bede's thought
for non-specialists in the areas of theology, religious studies,
and other areas of the humanities.
