Book Reviews of Life of St. Columba (Penguin Classics)

Book Review: Superb edition of Celtic saint hagiography
Summary: 4 Stars

Like all Penguin classics, this is a scholarly but accessible edition of an ancient and enduring work. It includes an excellent introduction by Richard Sharpe, a fellow of Wadham College, Oxford, and an extensive bibliography. A must-read for anyone interested in the Celtic church fathers, and those seeking insight into the very special spirituality of Celtic Christianity.
