Celtic Christianity & Paganism in Ancient Britain (Capall Bann Publishing Ltd 1994).

 

This fascinating books deals with the history of Celtic paganism and Celtic Christianity and the transition period between the two belief systems in the British Isles from the Iron Age to the medieval period. The arrival of Roman Catholic missionaries in southern England at the end of the 6th century CE, how this effected the native British Church that was already established, its suppression by the Roman Church and how this effected Christian history and theology in the Middle Ages is discussed. The influence of Celtic Christianity on the Arthurian legends and Grail myths is also explored. The book concludes with the revival of interest in Celtic Christianity by today’s followers of New Age philosophies.
