Book Overview

Starting with the ancient sun-oriented monuments of the megalithic age, Streit traces the evolution of an unbroken spiritual culture from the time of stone circles and dolmens, through the Celtic era, into the period of the stone crosses of early Irish Christianity -- examining the ancient symbols, early hymns, and liturgical texts, and depicting the missionary zeal of Christian monks who established Celtic Christianity across Europe during the Dark Ages.
