Description
Early Celtic Christianity This book offers a lively and original account of early Celtic Christianity, shedding light on its significance in shaping Western culture. Against the backdrop of European history from the 1st to 7th centuries AD, it explores the lives of three influential figures: Brendan, Columba, and Columbanus. These saints played key roles in the development of Christianity in Ireland, Scotland, Wales, and continental Europe. Their stories reveal a complex interplay between different Christian traditions and the impact of their work on the formation of new countries and ideas. The book's focus is on the pivotal moment when Roman and Celtic Christianity clashed at the Council of Whitby in 664. By examining the movements of peoples, the shaping of nations, and the evolution of ideas during this period, this book provides a fascinating glimpse into a lesser-known chapter of European history.
