The Story Of Ireland And Her Church

""The Story of Ireland and Her Church: From the Earliest Times to the Present Day"" is a historical account of Ireland and its relationship with the Christian church. Written by John MacBeth and originally published in 1899, the book traces the history of Ireland from pre-Christian times to the late 19th century, with a particular focus on the role of the church in shaping Irish culture and society. The book covers the arrival of Christianity in Ireland, the establishment of monasteries and the spread of Christianity throughout the country, the influence of the Catholic Church during the Middle Ages, the Reformation and the subsequent division of the church in Ireland, the rise of Protestantism and the conflicts between Catholics and Protestants, and the role of the church in Irish politics and society in the 19th century. MacBeth draws on a wide range of sources, including historical documents, religious texts, and contemporary accounts, to provide a comprehensive and engaging account of Ireland's complex and fascinating history. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in Irish history, the history of Christianity, or the intersection of religion and politics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
