| Summary: | Writing from his monastery in the seventh and eighth centuries, the Venerable Bede (ca. 672-735) was one of the foremost scholars of his era. Primarily known for his Ecclesiastical History of the English People, Bede's vast corpus also included theological works, sermons, and biblical commentaries. Although most scholarly attention focuses on his historiography, this article explores Bede's views on the notorious fifth-century monk, Pelagius. After surveying the works of both authors and commenting on the spread of Pelagianism in Britain, the article concludes that Bede saw Pelagianism as a persistent threat to orthodoxy, some three hundred years removed from the Pelagian controversies in the fifth century. |
