“Hwæt!” This week we take a closer look at the epic poem of Beowulf. This poem is one of the oldest examples of the English language that survives and it in itself is a masterpiece. Through it we can learn much about the origins of our language and also the culture of the English people c. 1000 A.D. This story also gives us a glimpse at how the gospel, which was newly arrived in Britain, was shaping the hearts and minds of the early English people.
