Product Description

Review
A whistle-stop tour through a history of the celtic movement. Never a dull moment as the greater names and lesser saints are brought to life. Her style is engaging and humerous. --The Reader

Product Description
Using history, and a thoughtful examination of legends, Fay Sampson weaves the strands of Celtic Christianity like Celtic knotwork into a continuous story, exciting and unsentimental. As the Roman empire crumbled, Celtic Christians threw themselves into pilgrimage and quest. They found their visionary islands on Skellig Michael, Iona, Lindisfarne...Yet, their spirituality was essentially concerned with politics and people. Brigid ruled a monastery for women and men, princesses and slaves, while Arthur was defending Celtic Britain against English invaders. Columban was deported from Burgundy. Aidan died protesting against his king. Some did slam the monastery gates on the sinful world. More tramped into the hills, staff in hand, to stand alongside ordinary people.

4.0 out of 5 stars A fascinating and informative book, 3 Feb 2007
By Helen Hancox "Auntie Helen" (Essex, England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This book covers Christianity in Britain from AD57 to 909 and beyond. It looks at the history and identity of the Celtic peoples of Britain, Ireland and continental Europe and how they embraced the Christian faith. Fay Sampson explores the growth and structure of the church whilst telling the stories of pioneering individuals such as Patrick, Brigid, Columba and David. She follows Rome's gradual absorption of the British and Irish abbeys and traditions and the effects of settlement by Angles, Saxons and Jutes.

A chapter on the Synod of Whitby summarises how a difference of opinion on tonsure styles and the date of Easter altered the course of church history; something of which any contemporary Christian reader would do well to be reminded.

This is a fascinating and informative book. Sampson includes an index, timeline, maps and a list of further reading. Some footnotes and references would also have been helpful. More careful editing and typesetting and a better cover design would have done her research and the subject justice.
