Saint Patrick: The Man and His Works - Paperback

by Thomas O'Loughlin (Author)

The only true apostle of Ireland who more or less converted the country the single-handed? or A Christian bishop from the embattled edge of a crumbling empire?

All that can really be known of Patrick comes from his authentic writings - the Confession and the Epistola (Address to the Soldiers of Coroticus).

Thomas O'Loughlin's engaging yet scholarly reflections on these fifth-century texts lead us into a greater understanding of the mind of Patrick, the man, believer and missionary.
