Description
On the Ruin of Britain is a sermon by Gildas, a prominent member of the Celtic Christian church in Britain, written in the 5th century. In this work, Gildas condemns the acts of his contemporaries, both secular and religious, and reflects on the state of Britain at the time.
Composed as a call to repentance, On the Ruin of Britain offers a unique insight into the monastic ideal and the values of the Celtic Christian church. Gildas' writing style, which earned him the designation Gildas Sapiens, provides a glimpse into the learning and literary traditions of the time.
This 140-page paperback edition of On the Ruin of Britain is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Britain and the early Christian church.
