Christianity and the English language have been deeply interconnected throughout history. Christianity first arrived in Britain during the Roman period, but it became firmly established after the missionary work of St. Augustine in the 6th century. During this time, Latin was the dominant language of the Church, and it heavily influenced Old English, particularly with the introduction of religious vocabulary. Figures like King Alfred the Great and the Venerable Bede promoted Christian learning, and texts such as Caedmon’s Hymn are among the earliest examples of Old English Christian poetry.
By the Middle Ages, English began to re-emerge as a literary language after the Norman Conquest, which had introduced French as the language of the aristocracy. John Wycliffe’s translation of the Bible into Middle English in the late 14th century was a pivotal moment, as it challenged the Church's monopoly on Scripture and made religious texts more accessible to English speakers.
The English Reformation in the 16th century was a turning point, with the break from the Catholic Church under Henry VIII and the creation of the Church of England. This led to the King James Bible (1611), a monumental work that not only shaped English Christianity but also had a profound and lasting impact on the English language, embedding biblical phrases and idioms into everyday speech. Since then, English has become one of the most widely used languages of Christianity, particularly through missionary efforts and global Christian media, making it a central vehicle for Christian thought and Scripture today.
