Patrick

Missionary to the Irish

O'Loughlin, Thomas

Life and legends of the missionary to the Irish

Who was St Patrick? A legendary miracle worker who converted a whole island unaided, or a beleaguered missionary venturing fearfully to the edges of the known world? In this new biography of the 5th century saint, Thomas O’Loughlin explores the man behind the myth through Patrick’s own writings and discovers an inspiring theologian and a man who preached peace to his captors and forgiveness to those who had attacked him.
