Ranging from devotional poetry to confessional history, across the span of competing religious traditions, this volume addresses the lived faith of diverse communities during the turmoil of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Together, they provide a textured understanding of the complexities in religious belief, practice and organization.

Reviews

“This collection … includes a variety of essays examining religious change across Gaelic Scotland, Gaelic Ireland, Wales and Cornwall in the early modern period. … it is a stimulating starting point and it will no doubt be beneficial to readers with a specific interest in Christianity in the Celtic world, as well as to those with a more general interest in the early modern period.” (Russell Newton, The Innes Review, Vol. 68 (1), May, 2017)

“The title of this collection announces a project to understand the processes of enculturation of early modern versions of Christianity across a set of geographical zones described as ‘celtic’. … This might be an avenue for further investigation, aided by cultural anthropologists of a historical or archeological bent.” (Thomas O’Connor, Studia Hibernica, Vol. 41, 2014)
