'... a major contribution to the study of Bede and his work... a text that will serve as an invaluable resource for both students of Bede and historians of the earlier Anglo-Saxon period more broadly' - Speculum, 94/3 (July 2019). 'Shaw admires Bede's achievement without ever being seduced by it-his book makes a useful contribution to the study of the Anglo-Saxon conversion and should substantially advance our understanding of the Historia ecclesiastica' - The English Historical Review.

Shaw must be applauded for producing a work of scholarship that offers a convincing argument while also serving as a useful ready-reference guide. His work is all the more significant in that this is the sort of book seldom written anymore-one which eschews theory-driven interpretation in favor of a more traditional, source-basedmethodology. -Andrew Rabin, University of Louisville, USA
