The Venerable Bede
Among Bede's earliest scholastic accomplishments is his fundamental contribution to resolving the fractious question of the calculation of the correct date of observance of Easter. This is the central event in the Christian calendar, and with the resurrection of Jesus being anchored in the year in relation to the time after the X full moon of the year, the subsequent occurrances were subject to differing identifications depending upon the particulars of the method of calculation. Differing dates for the celebration of Easter were consequently treated as alarming departures from orthodoxy, and thus functioned as springboards to heretical sects.
