A
short book, densely packed with historical information about the Viking era,
and how Christianity came to be the primary religion of the Scandinavian
regions. This book revealed even more than I already understood, the extant to
which all northern Europeans interacted with and influenced each other, and how
the growth of Christianity in Europe was as much a political movement as it was
a religious one. It also illustrated the bravery of the first missionary monks
who sought to bring Christianity to the pagan north. More than anything this
book whet my appetite to learn more about Scandinavian history.
