The Cross in the Circle: A Survey of Celtic Christianity

Fall 2007

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.
