Bertram Colgrave has delivered a fascinating insight into the what he describes as the two lives of St. Cuthbert. His first life between 698 and 705 is a well clarified position within Landisfarne tradition- in which he eventually became bishop. His later, 'second' life appears in contrast to his earlier experiences.

St. Cuthbert's prose life of 721, Colgrave argues, is a much more complete, well-rounded position as a remarkable churchman. Join the author as he discusses, analyses and evaluates the inspiring story of St. Cuthbert.
