My knowledge quest is, “What were the different religion origins used during the Old English Period and how can you tell them apart?” During this week’s reading I was able to identify the many examples of Christianity and paganism throughout “Beowulf.” Throughout the poem we see the many references to God and we find them since the very beginning of the poem, when Grendel listen to the story of God’s creation, "The Almighty making the earth, shaping These beautiful plains marked off by oceans ... made quick with Life." We also see Beowulf thanking God for the gifts he has given. We see the Christian message when Beowulf goes to fight Grendel and is not afraid, because it is God who decides who is to die in battle. This shows Beowulf's faith
