AI-generated Review of “The barbarian conversion”:
"The barbarian conversion" Description:
The Open Library:
The conversion of the pagan world that began in the obscurity of the Dark Ages was in no way inevitable. England did not embrace Christianity until A.D. 627, and the last European conversion occurred in Lithuania late in the Middle Ages, in 1386. How did it all happen - and why? In a work of scholarship that often reads like a detective story and owes as much to keen intuition as to a firm mastery of difficult sources, one of Britain's foremost medievalists tackles these questions. In a narrative that is both dramatic and thought-provoking, he relates the story of the Christianization of Europe. It is a very large story, for conversion was not only a matter of religious belief. With it came enormous cultural change: Latin literacy and books, Roman notions of law and property, and the concept of town life as well as new tastes in food, drink, and dress. Whether from faith or by force, from self-interest or by revelation, conversion had an immense impact that is with us even today.
