This splendid collection of spiritual writing is drawn from the Anglo-Saxon age: an era of creative theological prayer, artistic achievement and literary expression. Written before the splits and divisions that have so marred the history of the church, this body of thought is the common heritage of all English-speaking Christians.

Attractively illustrated throughout with contemporary images, this volume bears witness to an inspiring period of Christianity in the west. Prayers and readings, many translated here for the very first time, are includedfor all the principal Christian festivals and seasons, and for the commemoration of the many saints of the age:Augustine, Alcuin, Dunstan, Bede, Cuthbert, Aidan, Hilda and others

A deep devotional resource for public worship and private reflection, this book is also the meeting-ground for all who wish to connect with their spiritual roots and recover their unity with Christians of other traditions.
