A Comparison of Christian Influence on Beowulf and The Saga of King Hrolf Kraki

Christian influence on Beowulf and the legend of King Hrolf Kraki In Beowulf, the influence of Christianity has been revealed through about seventy verses, where expressions and ideas suggest Christian usage and doctrine It is Odin Although it has a remnant of the worship of worship, it breathed Christian 's values ​​in its own way. In the text of Beowulf, the elements of Christianity seem to be intertwined. Because we believe that this is due to complementing the words when the poem was written.
