Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. Dust jacket has some shelfwear.; This look back to the very beginnings of Irish Christianity and to its founder - St. Patrick, is an excellent work by one of the most intriguing of writers, who presents Irish and Celtic Dark age history through a political perspective. Patrick is a figure about little certain is known, and Thompson masterfully, "pieces together the story of his life, drawing his evidence from the only real clues that exist, Patrick's own writings. " Scheduled for publication on St. Patrick's day, this study of the elusive patron saint of the Irish is unique in at least one respect. Thompson (emeritus professor of Nottingham University, England) relies solely on evidence gathered from Patrick's own writingstwo books in Latin: Epistle to the Soldiers of Coroticus and Confessionto form a biography. He eschews the legends and apocrypha, many amusing, that have over the centuries embellished the meager facts known about Patrick, yet Thompson strives to appeal to general readers as well as theologians and scholars. Terming Patrick "a bad writer but . . . Not an out-and-out crackpot, " he poses credible hypotheses about Patrick's origins as a Briton, his enslavement in County Mayo, his delayed rise to the bishopric and his unusual reaching out to the non-Christian barbarians of fifth-century Ireland. An intriguing story filled with unanswerable questions but highly readable and satisfying.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - He was sixteen when they stole him.He was a slave when God found him.He was a nobody when he changed the world.They called him Sachellos.Slave. Property. Nothing.Raiders tore him from his family, chained him to a ship, and sold him to pagan Ireland - a land of druids, blood sacrifice, and kings who feared no god. For six years he fed pigs on a mountain called Slemish, alone, forgotten, praying to a God he barely knew.He should have died there.Instead, he escaped.He ran to freedom. He ran to his family. He ran to safety.And then God asked the unthinkable.'Go back.'Back to the chains. Back to the men who owned him. Back to the island that broke him.And he said yes.With no army. No money. No title. Armed only with a shamrock, a scarred staff, and the strong Name of the Trinity, Patrick walked into the darkness - and lit a fire that never went out.He walked into kings' halls and defied their laws.He walked into sacred groves and silenced their gods.He walked into pits of bones and sang.He walked into betrayal, slander, and iron chains - and forgave.He was hunted. He was hated. He was called unfit, unlearned, despised.And he baptized a nation.He turned raiders into monks.He turned lepers into brothers.He turned traitors into church builders.He turned a land of death into the Land of Saints and Scholars that would save civilization itself.This is not the legend of St. Patrick.This is the blood-and-dirt story of a boy who lost everything - and used it to rescue an island.It's the story of courage that walks into your Ireland.Of forgiveness that lays down the knife.Of obedience that sings when the chains don't break.Because Patrick's hut is empty now.But the voices are still crying out.From your past. From your family. From the place you swore you'd never return.'We ask thee, come and walk among us once more.'You were a slave.You are a son.Now go, and father a nation.Your courageous journey starts with one 'yes' to God.Perfect for readers of The Hiding Place by Corrie ten Boom, The Insanity of God by Nik Ripken, and The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry by John Mark Comer. For anyone who has ever been broken, betrayed, or bound - and dares to believe God wastes nothing.…
