The Celtic Connection

£1.25

In The Celtic Connection David Marshall concisely outlines the story of the Celtic Church and the earliest Christians in the British Isles. He highlights the key figures of Patrick, Columba, David, Aidan and Piran, whose influence was preserved in Ireland. Marshall sheds light on a side of Christian faith that was unaffected by the Greek or Roman politics and, in turn, offers credence to faiths that embrace some of those early beliefs of the Christian Church.

Worldwide Christianity as we know it today is a diverse spread of localised orthodoxies and denominations. From its inception, the Christian faith split into various strands influenced by the significant political powers of the time. While the history of the Roman and Greek strands of Christianity has been extensively studied and explored, other social cultures also had a part to play in the development of the early church.

One such culture is that of the early British Isles. In The Celtic Connection David Marshall concisely outlines the story of the Celtic Church and the earliest Christians in the British Isles. He highlights the key figures of Patrick, Columba, David, Aidan and Piran, whose influence was preserved in Ireland. Marshall sheds light on a side of Christian faith that was unaffected by the Greek or Roman politics and, in turn, offers credence to faiths that embrace some of those early beliefs of the Christian Church.
