Recovering the Past

Edición de la obra Recovering the Past

"In AD 597 two symbolic events took place: the Celtic St. Columba died at Lindisfarne and the Roman St. Augustine came to Canterbury...In this fascinating account, John Finney shows how Columba, Augustine and their contemporaries faced a situation very similar to our own. England today can no longer be regarded as a "Christian" country with the Church as a foundation stone of society. Many do not know the Lord's Prayer and few children know the stories of the life of Jesus. If there is no revival of faith, the last vestiges of Christendom will disappear. The early 'missionaries' faced much the same situation as we face today and John Finney points out ways in which we, too, can set about the challenge of evangelism"--P. [4] of cover.
