Description
Book SynopsisDavid Petts is Lecturer in Archaeology, University of Durham, UK.
Trade ReviewThis slim book successfully invites us to reflect on how we approach the study of religious belief and change with specific reference to the unique and highly significant circumstances of early medieval Europe . . . I like this book and will use it with my students, because it offers a well-reasoned critique and a persuasive way of (re)looking that can be considered across Europe, and it draws on a good range of supporting examples. -- Sally Foster, University of Aberdeen * Medieval Archaeology *
This book would be a useful addition to any reading list for courses and modules dealing with conversion in the early Middle Ages. -- Alex Woolf, University of St Andrews, UK * Early Medieval Europe *
