Where does this fit??

I remember this story from reading it years ago. Granted it wasn't the full version and i am truly enjoying taking the entirety it in. I do have questions that I want to pose in class, such as, "How is this a showing of the early church?" I see ties to mysticism and Christianity in here so I wonder if we are dealing with some kind of Pagan sect. From what we have read, I am remembering it pretty well. Beowulf being a real mighty hero for the people. He seems to have an ambition to gain true glory for his name. I think this is an ambition we can learn from if our hearts align with God through it. Your s the power and the glory and the honor, Amen.
