| Abstract | This strand explores the cultural and intellectual contexts that shaped the production or reception of Bede's works. Session II examines how Bede engaged with contemporary theological concepts and controversies in his writings: paper -a (Wallis) discusses Bede's Commentary on Proverbs, a text that was very popular with his medieval readership but has been largely overlooked in modern scholarship; paper -b (Cremin) shows how Bede's Homily for After Epiphany was informed by the Patristic traditions of the Latin Church Fathers and it situates that text within the context of Bede's non-exegetical works; paper -c (O'Reilly) explores how the heresy of Monotheletism affected the formation of Bede's Christology. |
