Publisher's Synopsis
The Church of St. Patrick: A Historical Inquiry into the Independence of the Ancient Church of Ireland is a book written by William Gowan Todd and originally published in 1844. The book is a historical analysis of the early Christian church in Ireland, particularly its independence from the Roman Catholic Church. The author examines the origins of the church in Ireland, including the arrival of St. Patrick and the spread of Christianity throughout the country. He then delves into the relationship between the Irish church and the Roman Catholic Church, arguing that the Irish church maintained a significant degree of independence and autonomy from Rome for many centuries. Todd also explores the various theological and political factors that contributed to the independence of the Irish church, including the influence of Celtic culture and the role of the Irish kings in the establishment and development of the church.
