Everyone should read this book! In the depths of the dark ages, 400 years after the fall of Rome, the only place in the world where the art of illuminated scripture was still being practiced was in the monasteries of Ireland: a place so remote and primitive that they were barely aware that they were no longer part of the Roman Empire. The clergy of Europe had become as illiterate as the peasants, but they memorized and recited tthe Bible from memory. Errors conpunded themselves as recondite knowledge was passed orally from generation to generation among the priests. The Irish monks, led by a man named Patrick,were the last literate Northern Europeans. They began traveling through Europe and teaching the clergy how to read. Absent their efforts, civilization as we know it would have passed out of existence: there would have been no Charlemagne to consolidate Europe again, no Elizabeth to sponsor the Reformed Church and the arts, and no Queen Isabella to finance the discovery of the Americas, because they would have all existed (if at all) barely above the level of cavemen. It is for this reason that Patrick was sainted: the stories of ridding Ireland of snakes is just a fairy tale made up by those who didn't read and didn't know why he was sainted. Skip this book, and your life will be poorer in its ignorance!Cahill writes beautifully, and he brings the book to life: he presents history as saga, and the truth he gives us is more enjoyable and fulfilling than any fiction!
Thomas Cahill's history of Ireland during the middle ages is so well and cleverly written that you will never know you are reading nonfiction. The theme running through is as engrossing as "Vikings" on the History Channel. It is grounded in solid facts, many of which are not well known, making it a fascinating read. The author is a scholar, whose prose is not only lyrical and learned, but paints word pictures of western civilization after the fall of the Roman Empire. You will have a whole new regard for the contributions of the "Emerald Isle."
I own this entire series and enjoy this book a great deal. It actually proved a religious-historical theory that I'd already had a hunch about (that my Irish/Celtic ancestors actually worshiped Baal and the Queen of Heaven a.k.a. Asherah a.k.a. Babylon). And even though there are statements in the book that irk me since I am a Christian and the author is clearly not, I can still appreciate this book for it's balanced, honest, historical perspective. Definitely recommend How the Irish Saved Civilization and the entire Hinges of History Series. Enjoy!
There was a time in the distant past where Rome ruled most of Europe. To the east were the barbarians. Christianity, which was controlled by Rome has entered the domain of the Irish. Though the Irish did not participate in Rome's controlling Christianity. In the 5th century AD the barbarians broke through the Roman control of Europe. It was the Irish who went out to change those people and in the process saved civilization. The book will take you through the events that took place and those that made the difference.
Pleasantly surprised that the book was not specifically about Irish History. The first few chapters focus on classical antiquity in relation to Ireland and Celtic Christianity, which is why I described the chapters in detail because the title felt somewhat misleading although in the end Cahill does brilliantly prove his thesis.Chapter 1: Explanation of the Fall of Rome; Uses interesting ideas for modern political reference which are strangely prophetic in TrumpAmericaChapter 2: Breaks down Augustine and talks about the art of his skillful Latin in the context of other writers and philosophers of the age; Cahill states that Confessions is the first autobiographical memoir of all of history opening up the world to psychology and the notion of consciousness; Also talks about Paul’s letters as well as Cicero, Plato and Virgil in a readable, not overly academic mannerChapter 3: Various poetry and ballads from Irish literature comparing to other cultures such as the Greeks and highlighting traits that are make the Irish uniqueChapter 4: Beautiful insight and enlightening Biography about St. Patrick. He is the adopted father to the Irish people. Gets rid of slavery. Establishes the church and monasteries which is the founding of Christianity in Ireland. Cahill also makes an interesting comparison between St. Patrick’s Confessions and perspective and St. Augustine. Early church fathers who had a great influence on the growth of Christianity.
Besides this being one the most interesting books I've ever read I was also very impressed with the writing skills of this author. I never got any of this in my history classes at school. I seriously recommend an electronic reader for this book because your constantly looking up words this author uses. so a reader with a built in dictionary is a must. It's a real treat to be able to touch a word and a dictionary pops up to provide a meaning. If you're Irish or a student of history, this is a must read. Just this elucidation on the demise of Rome and the origins of the Mafia alone are worth the price of admission. Good stuff!! It's the luck of the Irish, don't ya know!
