<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Augustineâ (TM)s mission to Britain in 597 was a pivotal event in English Christianity. Yet little is known about Augustine himself and even less about his leadership. Robin Mackintosh evaluates varied sources to produce a coherent narrative of Augustineâ (TM)s mission, his journey through Merovingian France, and the outcomes for British Christianity.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Augustine's mission to Roman Britain in 597 at the behest of Pope Gregory the Great was one of the pivotal events in the history of English Christianity and crucial to its subsequent survival and expansion. Yet little is known about Augustine himself and even less about the leadership he exercised in mounting a mission to the Anglo-Saxon people, or the monastic spirituality that energised the enterprise. This book sifts and evaluates recent and varied sources to produce a more coherent narrative of the events that led to Augustine's mission, his complex political and geographical journey through Merovingian France, and the outcomes in Kent and ultimately for British Christianity. Critical leadership issues are considered as they arose on the journey to Kent, together with the spiritual resources available for this bold and unprecedented venture, and Augustine's legacy as the first Archbishop of Canterbury is reassessed. Written by an experienced teacher and adult educator, this book explores the significance of the first Archbishop of Canterbury and the Anglo-Saxon Church of his day for the life and mission of Christianity in contemporary Britain.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>This is not a dry academic study, but an accessible, and in many places exciting, read for anyone who has an interest in the character, story or legacy of Augustine.--Michael Turnbull "The ReaderÂ"<br>
