Written in 731 AD, The Ecclesiastical History of the English People is a foundational chronicle by the monk Bede, detailing the history of Christianity in England from the Roman period to the early 8th century. Covering the arrival of St. Augustine, the spread of the faith, and the struggles between rival Christian traditions, Bede blends fact, hagiography, and theological reflection into a cohesive narrative. He highlights key figures like St. Cuthbert and Queen Ethelburga, while emphasizing divine providence in shaping England's spiritual destiny. Though shaped by its author's monastic perspective, the work remains an essential source for understanding early medieval Britain, the development of the English Church, and the cultural foundations of English identity.
