Summary "The Church and the Barbarians" by William Holden Hutton is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This detailed narrative outlines the history of the Church from A.D. 461 to A.D. 1003, focusing on the interplay between Christianity and the various barbarian cultures that emerged during this transformative period in Europe. The author delves into how the Church sought to unify and convert these new populations, setting the stage for the eventual Christianization of Europe. The beginning of the book introduces the reader to the decline of the Roman Empire and the challenges the Church faced during the fifth century. Hutton discusses the Church's struggle to maintain unity amid the rise of new, often pagan, nations while also dealing with the remnants of imperial authority. He highlights the central theme of this era: the need for the Church to extend its influence and adapt to a changing world while striving for theological and organizational unity. The author sets the groundwork for a narrative that promises to explore the Church's missionary efforts, interactions with various barbarian tribes, and the emerging political complexities of the time.
