Rediscovering the Celts

by Martin Robinson

Much has been made of rediscovering Celtic Spirituality in recent years. Indeed, many have felt this has been a spiritual homecoming for them. But how should contemporary Christians respond to this phenomenon?

In this second edition and updated version of Rediscovering the Celts, Martin Robinson explores the flowering of the uniquely Celtic expression of Christianity in history. He warns against romanticising it, and highlights the elements of Celtic Christianity that are of lasting value. He uncovers the hallmarks of the Celtic Church’s missionary success – its involvement in the transformation of society, its approach to worship and spirituality and its immersion in Scripture.

Actually I was pleasantly surprised at the depth of this book. He does contrasts: Celtic mission, Roman mission; the journey into the self, the journey toward community; bold Celtic initiation, Roman consolidation; rural, urban; mission emphasis, educational emphasis. Actually the depth and the terminology that goes with it is probably challenging, even intimidating to many. But the book certainly held my interest.
