Celtic Saints [9781780275703]

(No reviews yet) Write a Review

Over a period of around four hundred years, the pioneers of the Celtic Church travelled eastwards from Ireland and Wales to Scotland, northern Britain and Cornwall, then deep into the European continent. Their teaching and example transformed the religious experience of all they encountered.

They may be coated in layers of myth and pious anecdote but dig deep enough and the pioneering leaders of Celtic Christianity are revealed as reassuringly human individuals, responding to their faith by deliberately living on the edges of society.

From the goddess-nun Brigid and absent-minded Cainnech to the severely ascetic Baldred and the forceful Columba, whose monastery on Iona was one of the great religious and cultural beacons of the Dark Ages, together they demonstrate a close connection with the natural world, an astonishing self-discipline and, above all, a rigorous commitment to what it meant to be 'pilgrims for Christ'. 

This compact book features illustrations alongside the stories.
