Introuduction to Bede and the History of England

The Venerable Bede. Nuremberg Chronicle. 1493.

Today we begin the next text. Historically, it is fitting transition from Augustine of Hippo to Augustine of Canterbury, but quite a bit has taken place since then.

Agenda:

1. Pray
2. Conclude Augustine:
1. Read the "Worldview" section in the Omnibus Reader. (That spiral bound thingy with all those pages.)
2. Review and discuss
3. Read the Intro to Bede in Omnibus
4. Review HW:
1. Confessions Essay
2. Study for Confessions Quiz next week. Remember, the exam has 2 parts. Part 1 consists of short answer questions (2-5 sentences) covering the most of The Confessions (Books 1-11).  Part 2 is an essay they write in response to a theme in the book overall. Part 1 is scheduled for Tuesday. Part 2 is on Wednesday. They can use their books and their bibles. In addition to rereading parts, they should study their notes in general and their Reading Journals, which focus on key sections.
3. Read the Preface in Bede's Ecclesiastical History.
4. Be perfect.
