The Making of Religion

Set in the 15th century, the narrative follows Norman Leslie, a Benedictine monk tasked by his Abbot to compile a chronicle of Scotland and document his experiences with Jeanne d'Arc. As he reflects on his journey and the historical events he witnessed, he grapples with his limitations in writing classical Latin, ultimately leaving his work unfinished. The book offers a unique perspective on Scottish history and the life of the Maid of Orleans, blending personal narrative with historical account.
