Summary of Neil Hegarty's The Story of Ireland

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The first Christian bishop was sent to Ireland in AD 431, and his name was not Patrick. The theologian St. Prosper of Aquitaine records the event. The first Christian bishop was Palladius, and he spent most of his time in Ireland ministering in Baltinglass.

#2 Patrick was a Romanized British man who grew up comfortably in his province. He was captured by Irish slavers at age 16, and spent the next six years herding animals. His destiny and relationship with God were sealed during this time.

#3 Patrick was a missionary who went to Ireland to evangelize the pagans there. He faced many challenges, but he also helped marginalized groups in Ireland, including women.

#4 Patrick was a worldly man who was well suited to the dangerous world of the early Christian Church. He was also well matched by his political rulers, who recognized that the new religion could be used for their own purposes.
