An overview of the religious history of the Germanic peoples of Continental Europe covering their entrance to the Roman world and conversion to Christianity.
Marilyn Dunn is Senior Lecturer in Medieval History at the University of Glasgow, UK
Marilyn Dunn interrogates familiar sources from the perspective of
cognitive anthropology, and, in so doing, moves the reader beyond
an external account of events and people towards illuminative and
evidenced insight into how people reacted to the introduction of
Christianity socially, politically and personally. This exciting
approach opens up a new framework for understanding these first
encounters with the new religion, and adds a fresh dimension to our
understanding of a period of profound change.
