Question

Read the following excerpt from the Venerable Bede's An Ecclesiastical History of the English People. In this excerpt, The author describes a period just after the Britons had repelled attacks by the Picts, a tribe of invaders from the north. Which lines most closely illustrate how Bede's religion influenced his view of events?

Answer 1

The lines which most closely illustrate how Bede's religion influenced his view of events are the following: 

"yet, those that survived, could not be recalled form the spiritual death, which they had incurred through tier sins, either by the death of their friends, or the fear of death. Whereupon, not long after, a more severe vengeance for their fearful crimes fell upon the sinful nation."

Bede clearly states in these line that sinful ways of life led to social disorder and made invasion easier for the Picts. It's ethical concept that morals must be secure to overcome such situations most hard words Bede used is ''spiritual death".

Your answer is: "yet, those that survived, could not be recalled from the spiritual death, which they had incurred through their sins, either by the death of their friends, or the fear of death. Whereupon, not long after, a more severe vengeance for their fearful crimes fell upon the sinful nation."
