Book Description
While everyone knows the story of King Arthur, few will have heard of King Lucius, a figure who has been consigned to myth and largely forgotten in the annals of British history. Examining the primary sources as well as the archaeological evidence for this second century king, David Knight convincingly refutes the generally accepted view expounded at the beginning of the twentieth century that identifies Lucius as King Abgarus of Edessa. He reconstructs the story of this fascinating figure, who applied to the Pope for formal baptism in AD 177, making him the first Christian King in Britain, and traces the history of the story of Lucius, separating the myth from reality and attempting to restore this King to his rightful place in British history.

Book Description
G. F. Browne's 'The Christian Church in These Islands before the Coming of Augustine' is a meticulous examination of the development of Christianity in the British Isles prior to the arrival of St. Augustine of Canterbury in 597 AD. Browne's scholarly approach delves into archaeological evidence, historical texts, and religious practices to paint a vivid picture of the early church in this region. The book features a blend of academic analysis and engaging narrative to bring to life the religious landscape of the pre-Augustinian era, offering readers a comprehensive understanding of the Christian communities that existed in these islands. Browne's writing style is clear and concise, making this work accessible to both scholars and general readers interested in the history of Christianity in Britain. As a distinguished historian of early Christianity, G. F. Browne's expertise and meticulous research shine through in 'The Christian Church in These Islands before the Coming of Augustine'. His deep knowledge of the subject matter and scholarly approach to the topic provide readers with a rich and insightful exploration of the early Christian church in the British Isles. Browne's passion for uncovering the roots of Christianity in this region is evident throughout the book, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of the church in Britain prior to the medieval period. I highly recommend 'The Christian Church in These Islands before the Coming of Augustine' to history enthusiasts, religious scholars, and anyone interested in the early spread of Christianity in the British Isles. Browne's thorough research and engaging narrative offer a compelling insight into a lesser-known aspect of British history, shedding light on the foundations of the Christian faith in these islands.
