Augustine of Canterbury Converting the Anglo-Saxons

A Contribution to the Identity of the Medieval Missionary

Abstract

Augustine of Canterbury, who came from Rome to Kingdom of Kent in 597, is considered a founder of the English Church. This paper tries to describe his identity as a missionary preaching the Word to pagan Anglo-Saxons. The identity is discovered by analyzing descriptions of Augustine’s activity presented in the works of Gregory the Great and the Venerable Bede.
