Celtic Christianity

Discover the rich history of Celtic Christianity in this insightful book by BRADLEY, published by Edinburgh University Press in 1999. Spanning 288 pages, this hardback edition delves into the native Christian communities of the British Isles from the fifth to the tenth centuries. The author examines how these early communities have been idealized and appropriated by later generations, revealing the ways in which their own preconceptions and prejudices shaped the narrative of a perceived 'golden age' of Celtic Christianity. This thought-provoking exploration invites readers to reconsider the complexities of Celtic Christian heritage and its enduring impact. Perfect for history enthusiasts and scholars alike, this book is a must-have for anyone interested in the evolution of religious thought and cultural identity in the British Isles.
