The Lost Beliefs of Northern Europe [Buy it!] | Hilda Ellis Davidson | USD 59.89 (Fri May 24 04:34:45 2024) | Biblio | The Saint Bookstore | New. Fragments of ancient belief mingle with folklore and Christian dogma until the original tenets are lost in the myths and psychologies of the intervening years. Hilda Ellis Davidson illustrates how pagan beliefs have been represented and misinterpreted by the Christian tradition, and throws light on the nature of pre-Christian beliefs and how they have been preserved. The Lost Beliefs of Northern Europe stresses both the possibilities and the difficulties of investigating the lost religious beliefs of Northern Europe. ISBN 0415049377 9780415049375 [GB] |
