The Celtic Church In Britain And Ireland

A most fascinating and authoritative account of the Celtic Church, its beliefs and practices, and its remarkable theocracy based on Old Testament canon and the laws of the Pentateuch, including the keeping of the Seventh-day Sabbath. This book is illustrated with line drawings taken from the crosses which were a notable feature of Celtic church architecture, and with examples of documents of the period.

Interprets the nature of Christianity in Celtic Britain and Ireland from the 5th to the 10th cent., based on written and visual evidence- images of Christ in manuscripts, metalwork and sculpture. The strain of the Pelagianism in Britain in the early 5th century influenced the theology and practice of the Celtic monastic Churches on both sides of the Irish Sea, making theological spectrum quite distinct from that of the continent.

Excerpt from The Celtic Church in Britain and Ireland The following translation, originally suggested by Mr. Whitley Stokes, was undertaken with the permission of the editors of the Rea/encyklopda'z'e fz'er protestantz'sc/ze Tkeologz'e zwa' Kz'rcke, in the tenth volume of which periodical the article first appeared, and with the approval of the author, who was, however, unfortunately prevented by a serious illness from seeing the proof -sheets as they passed through the press. But I was fortu nate in obtaining the kind assistance of other scholars. The work of translation was carried out under the constant supervision of Mr. Stokes himself, Professor Oliver Elton, Mr. Alfred Nutt, and of my brother, Professor Kuno Meyer. To them I am indebted for many valuable sugges tions and criticisms of which I eagerly availed myself; but for any shortcomings that may still be found I am alone responsible. A. Meyer.
