description: Theodore Archbishop of Canterbury (668 - 690) shaped the English Church into a structure it has retained for a millennium. Yet until recently he has remained a shadowy figure whose early career in the Near East and at Rome has been unknown. In this book which builds on the 1994 publication of previously unprinted Biblical commentaries from Theodore's Canterbury school internationally distinguished scholars provide a fresh account of the career and writings of a unique personality who brought to Anglo-Saxon England the cultural heritage of Syria Byzantium and Rome.
