About this book
From the age of the apostles to the approach of the Reformation, James Craigie Robertson follows the Church through changing rulers, councils and religious disputes. Short chapters introduce figures including Constantine, Augustine and Gregory the Great, while sections on worship, church government and monastic life explain the institutions around them. A table of dates helps readers place these developments in sequence.
Patrick's experiences give the survey a more personal focus. Robertson recounts his captivity in Ireland, his growing commitment to prayer and his resolve to return as a preacher. The account interprets hardship through an explicitly Christian understanding of faith and providence. Readers interested in how religious history was presented by a nineteenth-century churchman will find a combination of biographical sketches and accounts of wider changes across the early and medieval Church.
