The Celtic cross (a cross with a circle tying its four spokes together) has become a popular symbol in many Christian circles. (It is especially popular among Presbyterians.) This lecture series takes a look at the distinctive tradition of Christianity that created this cross. It will review the rise, growth, and decline of Celtic Christianity (400-1200 A.D.). It will also discuss great Celtic saints (like Patrick and Columba), how Celtic Christian life differed from Roman Christianity, and the impact that it left on medieval Europe.
 THE REV. GORDON LINDSEY has read extensively in the history of Celtic Christianity. He holds a B.A. degree in history from Wheaton College and an M.Div. degree from the Yale Divinity School. He has also done graduate study at Oxford University. He is pastor of the Presbyterian Church in Scottsville, Va.
