When I first discovered the Celtic faith, I was a little wary. That is until I discovered about their journey in conversion to Christianity.This book, Journeys with Celtic Christians, talks about the similarities between the original Celtic faith and how it changed through the introduction of Christianity. They discuss the spread of faith throughout the areas of Ireland, Scotland, Wales and parts of England up to the 11th century.
The author was able to compare the Celtic Christians with the faith that many of us know and the similarities are amazing.
My daughter and I traveled the UK ten years ago so she could do research on the Celts. Being a history buff myself, I was amazed at how little I knew about this group of people. After she whetted my curiosity I have done extensive research of my own on this people and their faith. The author's viewpoint is right on and I truly enjoyed reading this book and will be referring to it for years to come.
I was given this book by NetGalley and Abingdon Press in exchange for my honest review.
