Meet Author
Lars Walker
Author Lars Walker is a sought-after Viking lecturer who has given presentations across the upper Midwest as well as on ocean cruises in Norway. He can deliver PowerPoint presentations on various subjects related to the Viking Age, but is best known for explaining the story of the Viking tradition of democracy, as described in the book Viking Legacy, by Prof. Torbjorn Titlestad, which Walker translated from Norwegian. Viking democracy forms a thematic backdrop for Walker’s Erling Skjalgsson novels. Churches may enjoy his presentation on the conversion of the Vikings to Christianity (more peaceful than you thought!).
In April 2019, he spoke at Union University on Christianity coming to the vikings.
Walker is the author of a series of historic fantasies about Erling Skjalgsson, a great Viking lord, and some loosely connected fantasies based around Epsom, Minnesota.
