What happened to the Vikings?As the first Millennium passed so did the Viking Age, but theirs was not an extinction from a plague or meteor strike. No, those roving sea wolves of icy Scandinavia never disappeared: they changed. The transformative light of the gospel of Christ swept through Scandinavia and its outposts. It rolled the Viking Age into a new era of higher adventures as the Vikings converted and incorporated into medieval Europe.
This was an era peopled by heroes as fascinating and wonderful as any who had plowed those chill seas before them. Here is their story. Both scholarly and devotional, this work sheds fresh light from a Christian perspective on a neglected corner of history. Read in these pages the wonderful saga of Christ's transformative work among an infamously hard people. Wonder at the bravery of remarkable missionaries and the brash deeds of Christian kings too long forgotten.
