Bede the Scholar distils a decade of research by leading scholars on the Northumbrian monk, the Venerable Bede (c. 673-735). Considering his place within the wider intellectual developments of the early medieval world, the book demonstrates the centrality of the Bible to Bede's writings and the coherence and clarity of his scholarly programme.

Bede (c 673-735) was the leading intellectual figure of the Anglo-Saxon Church, and his writings had a profound influence on the development of English Christian thought. This book provides a comprehensive analysis of Bede's eschatological thought and its impact upon the Anglo-Saxon period.
