Over a thousand years ago, an unnamed English poet preserved a strange and moving conversation: a duel of wits between Solomon, the Bible's wisest king, and Saturn, a wandering pagan prince from the East. Question by question, the pagan asks about fate, evil, and the end of the world; question by question, the king answers with the quiet power of Christian wisdom. At the heart of their exchange lies a treasure: the Prayer of Prayers, the Pater Noster, described as a living armor for the soul. Written in the Old English of Anglo-Saxon England, this dialogue glimmers with echoes of runes, riddles, and the high-walled mysteries of the early medieval world. This edition offers the dialogue in clear, present-day English, faithful in meaning, spirit, and sequence to the original and inviting to the modern reader. Here is a parable of wisdom versus unbelief, of question and answer, and of truth meeting us at the gate as a stranger. Part of The World Scriptures Library.
