The Egyptian Desert in the Irish Bogs: The Byzantine Character of Early Celtic Monasticism
Second Edition
by Father Gregory Telepneff
“Celtic Christianity is a subject which currently enjoys a general popularity. [...]For the Eastern Orthodox, in particular, Celtic Christianity holds a special appeal, but not because it is somehow ‘exotic’; rather, the Faith of the ancient Irish has an air of familiarity for an Orthodox, a certain quality which he intuitively identifies with his own Faith. This statement will no doubt sound odd to those who might imagine that Eastern Orthodoxy and Celtic Christianity are about as incongruous as the Egyptian desert and the Irish bogs.” —“Chapter 1: Introduction”
