Riassunto

This book examines the life, character and achievements of St Columba, identifies the distinctive nature and legacy of his Christianity and explores its relevance today. The key strands of Columban Christianity pilgrimage, penitence and politics are unravelled and compared to the central concerns of the present Iona Community. St Columba s message has never been more timely than now, 1400 years after his death.

Su questo libro

Recensione:

. . . a very lively and immensely readable book, presenting the life and work of Columba in a straightforward and easy manner. I enjoyed its honest presentation of Columba s faith which is far removed from the misty, romantic Celtic Christianity which is in vogue today. --Donald Meek, Professor of Celtic, Aberdeen University

Ian Bradley has combined the carefulness of the historian with the flair of the communicator to produce a book that is both informative and stirring. --Rt Revd John McIndoe, Moderator of the General Assembly
