About This Podcast

Bedes Ecclesiastical History of England is a seminal Latin work that delves into the rich tapestry of Christian Church history in England, with a keen focus on the tensions between Roman and Celtic Christianity. Written around 731, when Bede was about 59 years old, this historical masterpiece is considered one of the pivotal references on Anglo-Saxon history. Divided into five captivating books, it chronicles Englands ecclesiastical and political landscape from the era of Julius Caesar to Bedes own time. Beyond mere narration, Bedes work is imbued with a clear polemical and didactic intent, advocating for his native Northumbria while elevating its significance in English history over that of its southern rival, Mercia. His admiration for the Irish Celtic missionaries shines through, as he views them as far more devoted and effective than their English counterparts. A notable theme throughout is Bedes exploration of the correct date for Easter, where he offers a rare critique of St. Cuthbert and the Irish Church for their earlier miscalculations. Ultimately, he celebrates the Irish Churchs acceptance of the correct Easter date, showcasing the dynamic interplay of faith and historical narrative. (Summary adapted from Wikipedia)
