He composed 45 books of his own, including the Ecclesiastical History of the English People (which was divided in 5 books).

For him, Latin is a unifying factor because it gives people a common identity, and a way to communicate with each other. Common or shared historical experiences also unifies people, while differences in morality, culture, religion and language divides a nation. According to Bede the unifying factors seem stronger.
