The Conversion of Scandinavia

Can anyone recommend any in-depth, scholarly treatments of Scandinavia's conversion from paganism to Christianity? I'd actually be interested in works that deal with all of the Germanic lands and peoples, even continental, but especially the Scandinavian countries.

The only primary sources I can think of off-hand would be the Icelandic sagas, where some of the pagan/Christian tension is retained.

Anyway, I don't want to waste any time reading through "okay" books on the topic. Can anyone recommend some excellent tomes?

Many thanks!
