In an age marked by spiritual restlessness and theological shallowness the story of early Irish Christianity confronts us with a searching question: Do we know God as they knew Him?
Saints & Scholars traces the faith of Patrick and his successors - men who labours in hardship, prayed in solitude, preached with scripture - shaped conviction, and carried the gospel from the western edge of Europe into the pagan continent.
Far from the romantic legends that surround Celtic Christianity, this book returns to the sources: Patrick's Confession, the theology that inspired 'Be Thou My Vision', the missionary courage of Columbia, Aidan and Columbanus and the searching penitence that marked the inner life of the early Irish Church.
Written devotionally and pastorally, Saint & Scholars is not merely historical - it is a call to action. It is a call to action. This book invites today's Christian to recover a faith that is rooted, disciplined, missionary and deeply conscious of God.
