This book explains how Christianity influenced the government, how religion was flexible, and how literature became one of the most influential forces in early medieval Gaul. Its picture of post-Roman Europe as a philosophical, collaborative and experimental society will both attract and surprise fans of 'barbarian' and early Christian history.
