Saint Patrick was the missionary bishop who carried the Gospel to Ireland. How did an aging, unwealthy cleric persuade tribal kings to abandon their ancient gods and listen to the name of Christ?

The mission begins in defiance of pagan power, as Patrick lights the Paschal fire on the Hill of Slane in view of the High King at Tara. He pursues three decades of deliberate, dangerous labor to build a church among a people who once enslaved him. He navigates the kinship networks of local chieftains, ordains indigenous clergy, and establishes the primatial see of Armagh on land granted by the ruler Daire. He endures bitter trials, surviving captivity, chains, and the public betrayal of his secret by an intimate British friend. The narrative concludes at Saul in County Down, leaving an exhausted but faithful bishop who has spent everything he had to ransom his flock.
