Description
From Mjölnir to the Crucifix examines the Vikings’ conversion from paganism to Christianity. It explores factors such as political alliances, parallels in religious texts, and similarities in lifestyles in search of motivation for this religious adoption. It further considers instances of syncretism between the two religions, cases of reverting to the old beliefs, and finally, Christianity’s effects on the Viking world.
