Tree of Salvation: Yggdrasil and the Cross in the North
Murphy, G. Ronald, SJ (George M. Roth Distinguished Professor of German, George M. Roth Distinguished Professor of German, Georgetown University)
Ronald Murphy offers an insightful examination of the lasting significance of Yggdrasil in northern Europe, showing that the tree's image persisted not simply through its absorption into descriptions of Christ's crucifix, but through recognition by the newly converted Christians of the truth of their new religion in the images of their older faith.
