Abstract

Excerpt from The Beginnings of English Christianity: With Special Reference to the Coming of St. Augustine In the spring of this year I was called upon to deliver three lectures at Liverpool on 'The Beginnings of English Christianity.' They were not written, but much of their subject-matter was afterwards embodied in a series of articles contributed to the Church Times in May, on 'The Coming of St. Augustine.' These lectures and articles form the basis of the present volume. The book itself however is in no sense a reprint. It has been re-written throughout, and represents the result of much further study. Considerably more than half of its subject-matter is new, including most of what gives it a claim (if indeed it has any), to be regarded as a fresh study of the original sources. In particular, the whole of the appendices now appear for the first time. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
