Contents:
1. Introduction -- 2. Columbanus and the Merovingian church -- 3. Columbanian monasticism after 615 AD -- 4. The British church and the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms to c.620 -- 5. The Irish church to 640 -- 6. The Irish church after 640 -- 7. Ionia and Northumbria, 634-635 -- 8. Northumbria and Anglo-Saxon England, 665-735 -- 9. Iona, the Picts, and the British -- 10. Conclusion -- Appendix: Easter dates.
Summary: This book is a new survey of the Celtic and Roman traditions in Merovingian Gaul, Lombard Italy, and the British Isles from 590-768. In it Corning argues that the main areas of conflict between the two traditions during this period were the Easter controversy and by extension the style of tonsure. Corning?s work serves as a valuable case study of the ways in which the early medieval Church attempted to reach consensus on divisive issues.
