Publisher's Synopsis
Martin Robinson explores renewed contemporary interest in Celtic Christianity. He draws lessons from the success of the Celtic church which brought a new message to pagan Britain centuries ago. Much has been made of rediscovering Celtic spirituality in recent years. Indeed, many have felt this has been a spiritual `homecoming' for them. But how should contemporary Christians respond to this phenomenon? In Rediscovering the Celts, Martin Robinson explores the flowering of the uniquely Celtic expression of Christianity in history. He warns against romanticising it, but highlights the elements of Celtic Christianity that are of lasting value. He uncovers the hallmarks of the Celtic Church's missionary success - its part in the transformation of society, its approach to worship and spirituality, its immersion in Scripture and its relationship with the marginalised. Much of what he relates resonates with our concerns for society today, enabling us to gain a balanced insight from the true witness of the Celtic Church.
