Description: This book is a thought-provoking study into the often-overlooked role of Irish and Scottish missionaries in preserving and disseminating Christianity throughout Europe during the Middle Ages. The author argues that while Rome has historically claimed to have preserved the faith, it was in fact these lesser-known missionaries who played a crucial role in bringing the teachings of Christ to the masses. The book delves into the historical context of the era, exploring the impact of the Roman Empire's fall and the subsequent rise of barbarian nations. It examines the unique circumstances that led to the emergence of Ireland and Scotland as centers of Christian learning and missionary zeal, and traces the journeys of these dedicated individuals as they spread their message across the continent. The author presents a wealth of evidence to support their claims, drawing on historical texts, archaeological discoveries, and linguistic analysis. They demonstrate how these missionaries established monasteries, schools, and churches, and how their teachings influenced the development of theology, art, and literature in Europe. Ultimately, this book challenges the traditional narrative of Christian history and sheds new light on the role of the Celtic Church in preserving and shaping the faith during a pivotal period. It is a valuable contribution to our understanding of the complex and multifaceted nature of early Christianity.
