The Ancient Irish Church by John Healy is a comprehensive historical account of the early Christian church in Ireland. The book begins by exploring the pre-Christian religious beliefs and practices of the Irish people, before delving into the arrival of Christianity in the country in the 5th century. Healy examines the role of St. Patrick in the conversion of the Irish, as well as the establishment of monasteries and the growth of the church throughout the centuries.The book covers a wide range of topics, including the development of Irish monasticism, the spread of Christianity throughout Europe, the influence of the church on Irish society and politics, and the impact of the Viking invasions on the church. Healy also discusses the lives of important figures in Irish church history, such as St. Columba, St. Brigid, and St. Kevin.Throughout the book, Healy provides detailed historical analysis and draws on a variety of primary sources, including early Irish annals, hagiographies, and other historical documents. The Ancient Irish Church is an essential read for anyone interested in the history of Christianity in Ireland and the development of the Irish church.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
