The Voice of the Irish: The Story of Christian Ireland

From early Celtic culture to St. Patrick, from everyday monks to the people now engaged in the Peace Process, this sweeping history of Irish faith offers a balanced account of the religious, social, and political life of the Irish people. This is the first general history of Ireland to focus on the history of its faith for over 2,000 years. The Voice of the Irish brings to life the people whose faith changed Ireland's history, including Saint Brigid, and Jonathan Swift, Daniel O'Connell and Eamonn de Valera.
