Inhaltsangabe

This book examines the history of Ireland, specifically the 'Enlightened' period from 428 to 1171 AD. The author argues that the influence of Christianity on the ruling classes during this period, a time when literacy and historical record-keeping were improving, had little effect on the moral behavior or social justice within the populace. The author identifies this period as the beginning of the decline of Irish power due to a shift to an aristocratic ruling structure. This book will be of interest to readers interested in Irish history, early Christianity, and the rise and fall of civilizations.
