Anskar: The Apostle of the North, 801-865 is a book written by Charles H. Robinson and first published in 1921. The book tells the story of Anskar, a Christian missionary who lived in the 9th century and is known as the Apostle of the North. Anskar was born in 801 in France and became a monk at a young age. He was sent on a mission to Denmark and Sweden in 829 by the King of France to spread Christianity in the North. Anskar faced many challenges during his mission, including harsh weather conditions and resistance from the people he was trying to convert. Despite these challenges, Anskar persevered and eventually succeeded in establishing the first Christian church in Sweden. The book is translated from the Vita Anskarii, a biography of Anskar written by his fellow missionary and successor, Bishop Rimbert. The book provides a detailed account of Anskar's life and his contributions to the spread of Christianity in the North. It also sheds light on the historical and cultural context of the time, including the Viking Age and the role of the Church in medieval Europe. Overall, Anskar: The Apostle of the North, 801-865 is a fascinating read for anyone interested in the history of Christianity and the early medieval period.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
