By the grace of God I wish to discuss the phenomenon of Celtic Christianity using a resource that many may find odd.
Leslie Hardinge’s The Celtic Church in Britain” focuses on the theological motifs that occur within Celtic Christianity as they appear in both in the literature of the ancient Celtic church but also from the conflicts that emerge from Rome’s pompous attempts to subsume the Celts under their authority.
The book is interesting because it has no “axe to grind” in terms of defending or promoting a modern body seeking to establish its “Celtic credentials”. It’s “axe to grind”, if anything, is the promotion of the author’s Seventh Day Sabbatarianism (he is a “Seventh Day Adventist”).
I hope - at least in some of these posts - to reflect on this work and note my agreement, disagreement or reflection as a result of what he writes.
I hope you will enjoy the journey with me.
