n 1986, to mark the 900th anniversary of the murder of King Cnut IV in the Church of Saint Alban in Odense, the Book of Cnut (Knuds-bogen) was published. The volume shed light on different aspects of the life and cult of Cnut as king and saint. Since then, archaeological excavations in Odense, as well as recent national and international research on the cult of Saint Cnut, have provided scholars with new information about the life and times of Cnut. Furthermore, recent scholarship within medieval studies has resulted in a range of studies which allow for innovative comparisons with the Cnut material. With the interdisciplinary seminar behind the present publication, we brought together both national and international experts. The aim was to bring forth new aspects of Cnut's life and afterlife and to put these in a wider, international context. By doing so, we aimed to lay the basis for future research about Cnut and to form the basis for further dissemination of the latest discoveries pertaining to Cnut and his time.

With irrepressible zeal and love for the people of Africa, William Harrison Anderson set out in 1895, with his wife, Nora, and two other missionaries on what would become the journey of a lifetime. They traveled for six weeks by oxcart from South Africa to establish what is now known as Solusi University. Those early years brought many difficulties, including the dreaded malaria, which killed a number of their group. By 1901, the Andersons were the only ones left. Undeterred, they forged ahead assuming whatevere role necessary to further the work -- builder, farmer, teacher, preacher, doctor, or nurse. In 1905, Harry walked nine hundred miles to search out a new location for what would become Rusangu Mission, now Known as Zambia Adventist University. during his nearly fifty years of mission work in Africa, Anderson established the work among the Bechuanas, and opened a number of mission stations and schools.
