They retell biblical stories in alliterative verse, the form of hall songs about warriors and kings. Here, God appears as a mighty lord, angels serve as loyal followers, and Satan becomes a proud thane who breaks his oath.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGenesis moves through the world's beginnings, Satan's pride, and the first sin in Eden. Exodus turns the Red Sea crossing into a battlefield, while Daniel carries readers into Babylon and the fiery furnace. Christ and Satan brings scenes of hell, rescue, and judgment. These are broken, uneven pieces rather than one smooth narrative, but their heroic language gives familiar sacred stories a different force.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eInside this book\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSacred stories, heroic worlds\u003c\/strong\u003e – Discover how Anglo-Saxon poets recast biblical events through the language of lordship and loyalty.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePride and broken loyalty\u003c\/strong\u003e – Meet a Satan whose rebellion takes the shape of a warrior's broken oath.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe sea as battlefield\u003c\/strong\u003e – Enter an Exodus that makes the Red Sea crossing feel like heroic conflict.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBabylon and the furnace\u003c\/strong\u003e – Explore Daniel's account of exile and pride humbled by God, according to the poem.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHell, rescue, and judgment\u003c\/strong\u003e – Encounter Christ breaking open hell's gates in the collection's final, loosely linked poem.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003ePerfect for readers who love epic poetry, early English culture, or biblical stories told in a fresh, warlike voice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOpen the first page and enter the heroic world these poets make from sacred stories.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Library of Alexandria Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59534695039324,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1027\/9442\/8764\/files\/11296_en_ebook-front_c11.jpg?v=1792175099","url":"https:\/\/libraryofalexandria.com\/fr\/products\/codex-junius-11-fr","provider":"The Library of Alexandria","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
