- Summary:
- Starting in earliest Christian times, Peter O'Dwyer examines the development of the Catholic Church in Ireland and shows what Irish spirituality means. While dwelling on the phrase "the island of saints and scholars," he points out that it was, and still is, also "the island of sinners and scalliwags." He includes a fine collection of texts that show the mind of the people in each period of the history.
