When all other parts of Western Europe had already for centuries acknow ledged his sway, Ireland was still independent.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Ancient Irish Church The History of the Ancient Irish Church has an importance of its own. It concerns not merely the Irishman who naturally desires to learn how Christianity came to be preached in his own land, for the subject is of scarcely less interest to the dweller in England or Scotland. The former finds in Ireland the counterpart of the old British Church, and traces to that island, besides, the source whence much of the Christianity of the Anglo-Saxon was first derived. As he marks how from time to time the English Church struggled for liberty - how, long before the time of the Reformation, the authority of the Pope was resisted or rendered only a grudging recognition - he will rightly trace this independent spirit to the tone originally given to the Church by the Celtic missionaries. The latter looks to the Church of Ireland as the parent Church of his Own. The story of Iona, and of the conversion of the tribes of Caledonia, is as much Irish as it is Scotch. But to the student of general Church History, Ireland is also important. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Biographical Sketches of Ancient Irish Saints, Etc That converts to Christianity were in Ireland before the arrival there of St. Patrick, is admitted by all good historians. Palladius, who was sent by Pope Celestine to Ireland, A.D. 431, but who remained in that country only a very short time, was sent to the "Scots that believe in Christ." This sentence proves two things: first, that the ancient Irish were called "Scots," and secondly, that there were Christians already in the land. It is said that they had Bishops amongst them, and therefore some species of authorized Church constitution.

This book was released on 2017-11-08 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Saint Patrick, and the Early Church of Ireland Was there ever such a man as Saint Patrick? It was wise to consider this question before attempting to write his life. By some it has been doubted, by a few others denied. But in such cases there has usually been a strong party feeling, or an ignorance of certain original sources of history. There is a distinction to be made between the myth and the man. Imagination has given us a Robinson Crusoe; the real man was Alexander Selkirk. The Saint Patrick of the ordinary Irish heart is certainly very mythical. The portrait of him was drawn from imagination; the colours are not those of the fifth, but those of the twelfth or fourteenth century. The deeds are manufactured to order and by the job, and the life is made of the baldest legends. This Patrick is a fully-developed Papist of the time, when certain errors pre vailed, which he could not have known in the fifth century. He is constantly working miracles, some of them very triﬂing, and some of them astounding, beyond all that was ever recorded of a mere man. For his especial benefit divine revelations are made to him, which cause a greater amazement than any ever made to Moses or Paul. He is too wonderful to be real. The myth business was entirely overdone. The manufacturers did not perceive that com mon sense might some time be restored to the human race. In the Middle Ages it was customary with the monks to exercise their scholars in writing the lives of imaginary saints; asserting that it was a pious and very improving way of exercising the imagination! L The best of these fanciful biographies were laid aside for future use; and after the lapse of a few ages, when their statements could not be disproved, were produced and published as genuine.

Founded with the blessing and sanction of Christ's Vicar on earth; connected from the beginning with the rock of Peter, and participating in its solidity, our Church has been ever zealous in promoting the blessings of true religion, giving, at the same time, to the world the noblest examples of courage, devotedness, and fidelity, in preserving the sacred deposit of the faith committed to her by St. Patrick.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Celtic Church in Ireland: The Story of Ireland and Irish Christianity From Before the Time of St. Patrick to the Reformation The study of the organisation of the Celtic Church in Ireland has suffered greatly from having been pursued almost invariably in the light of modern Church systems, and with a constant effort to recon cile it with them. The effect has been to obscure or to keep out of sight its altogether unique features. If any justification is needed for another book on Irish history, the best apology the present writer can offer is that he has at least tried his utmost to regard and represent the facts with an unbiassed mind, and from an independent point of view.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Adamnani Vita S. Columbae: Edited From Dr. Reeves's Text; With an Introduction on Early Irish Church History, Notes and a Glossary Adamnan's Life of St. Columba has long been thought worthy to rank with such works as Jonas's Life of Columbanus, Bed's Life of St. Cuthbert, and Eddius's Life of St. Wilfrid, as one of the most interesting and valuable early biographies extant. Yet it is not a 'Life' in the ordinary sense, but rather, as described in the colophon, virtutum libelli Columbae, three books recording respectively the prophecies, the miracles, and the angelic visions of the saint. The last book concludes with a beautiful account of his last hours, reminding us of what we are told of Cuthbert and of Bede, and we would gladly have had the whole of Columba's life in the same form. That, however, was not the plan of the author. He aimed at hagiology, not at biography or history. Nevertheless his work is full of allusions throwing great light on early Celtic monasticism, and on the introduction of Christianity into the western and northern parts of what is now called Scotland. Dr. Reeves has collected hundreds of references to passages bearing upon the constitution, the discipline, the buildings, and the officers of St. Columba's monastery at Iona and upon the topography of that most interesting little island.
