Join Jeremy and Shari as we read and discuss the 9th century Saxon Gospel, The Heliand.

The Heliand is an epic alliterative verse poem in Old Saxon, written in the first half of the 9th century. The title means "savior" in Old Saxon, and the poem is a Biblical paraphrase that recounts the life of Jesus in the alliterative verse style of a Germanic epic.
