The History of the Franks by Gregory of Tours Illustrated

Gregory of Tours

Synopsis

The father of French history, Saint Gregory of Tours wrote a detailed ‘History of the Franks’, which serves as a major sixth century source for studying the Merovingian kingdom. Composed of ten books, it recounts events from the Creation to the Christianisation of Gaul, the life and times of Saint Martin, the conversion of the Franks and the conquest of Gaul under Clovis I, as well as a detailed history of the Frankish kings down to the death of Sigebert I in 575. A vivid teller of intriguing tales, Gregory is a rhetorically sophisticated writer, who conveys profound religious and spiritual messages. The first comprehensive history of the French people, ‘Historia Francorum’ provides invaluable insight into the political life of central Europe in the early Middle Ages. Delphi’s Medieval Library provides eReaders with rare and precious works, with noted English translations and the original texts.  This eBook presents Gregory’s complete ‘History of the Franks’, with illustrations, informative introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material. (Version 1)

An Infinite Fountain of Light -...

George M. Marsden

Christians need to pause once in a while to get their bearings. For perspective on our own times and how we got here, it helps to listen to wise guides from other eras. In An Infinite Fountain of Light, the renowned American historian George Marsden illuminates the landscape with wisdom from one such mentor: Jonathan Edwards.
Drawing on his deep expertise on Edwards and American culture, Marsden explains where Edwards stood within his historical context and sets forth key points of his complex thought. By also considering Benjamin Franklin and George Whitefield, two of Edwards's most influential contemporaries, Marsden unpacks the competing cultural and religious impulses that have shaped our times. In contrast, Edwards offered us an exhilarating view of the centrality of God's beauty and love. Christians' love for God, he taught, can be the guiding love of our lives, opening us to transformative joy and orienting all our lesser loves.
"There is an infinite fullness of all possible good in God, a fullness of every perfection, of all excellency and beauty, and of infinite happiness," wrote Edwards. "This infinite fountain of light should, diffusing its excellent fullness, pour forth light all around."
With Marsden's guidance, readers will discover how Edwards's insights can renew our own vision of the divine, of creation, and of ourselves.
