About This Book

A three-lecture study surveys evidence for Christianity in the British Isles before Augustine, combining documentary, archaeological, and traditional material. It examines reports by classical and ecclesiastical writers, local martyr narratives, and accounts linking early Christian sites with apostolic or legendary figures; assesses the church’s presence in Kent and Romano-British towns; traces missionary currents from Gaul, Ireland, and Scotland; discusses regional leaders and monastic foundations; considers doctrinal episodes such as the Pelagian controversy; and outlines distinctive rites and the varied fates of local churches up to the arrival of the later Roman mission.
