Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the history of the Scottish Church, commencing with the era of missionary work in the late 4th century and continuing through various periods of transformation up to the present. It highlights the compelling story of Saint Ninian, who, inspired by Saint Jerome's teachings, played a pivotal role in introducing Christianity to the Picts in the 5th century, establishing a monastic community on the site that would become the renowned Whithorn. The author explores the significant contributions of Saint Columba, who, arriving from Ireland in the 6th century, founded the influential monastery on the Isle of Iona, from which Christianity spread throughout Scotland. This book sheds light on the unique characteristics of the Celtic Church, including its practices regarding Easter observance and clerical tonsure, which set it apart from the rest of Western Christendom. Throughout the book, the author provides thoughtful insights into the profound impact of the Church on the social, political, and cultural development of Scotland. It examines the complex relationship between Church and state, as well as the challenges and controversies that have shaped its trajectory over the centuries. Ultimately, this book serves as a valuable resource for anyone seeking a comprehensive understanding of the rich and multifaceted history of the Scottish Church.
