Description
Celtic Christianity: Making Myths and Chasing Dreams by Ian Bradley explores how the native Christian communities of the British Isles have been idealised and appropriated over the centuries. This fascinating study reveals the complexities of projecting preconceptions onto a perceived 'golden age' of Celtic Christianity, shedding light on the making of myths and the pursuit of dreams. The book delves into the history of these communities from the fifth to the tenth centuries, examining how they have been perceived and reinterpreted by successive generations. By uncovering the nuances of this period, Bradley provides a thought-provoking analysis of the ways in which our understanding of Celtic Christianity has evolved over time. Through its exploration of myth-making and dream-chasing, this book offers a unique perspective on the development of Christian communities in the British Isles.
