Publisher's Synopsis
Saint Patrick was a fifth-century Romano-British Christian missionary and bishop in Ireland. Known as the "Apostle of Ireland", he is the primary patron saint of Ireland. He is also venerated in the Anglican Communion, the Old Catholic Church and in the Eastern Orthodox Church as equal-to-the-apostles and Enlightener of Ireland. This volume contains The Confession of St. Patrick, an autobiography written in the fifth century. It provides details of his life and beliefs. This classic continues to fascinate and inspire many. The book also contains St. Patrick's Epistle to Coroticus; a letter written by Patrick after he had lived and worked as a bishop in Ireland for many years. It is a scathing letter St. Patrick wrote to British tyrant Coroticus and the British Christians condemning the kidnap and killing of Christian converts. St. Patrick repeatedly uses scripture to strengthen his argument against Coroticus and to implore his men and followers to change their ways. The volume also contains St. Fiech's Metrical Life of St. Patrick and Tripartite Life of St. Patrick: Parts I, II, and III.
