Prophecy, Miracles, Angels, and Heavenly Light?: The Eschatology, Pneumatology, and Missiology of Adomnan's Life of St Columba

This book surveys approaches to the marvellous in hagiography, providing the first critique of Plummer?s hypothesis of Irish saga origin. It then analyses the uniquely systematized phenomena in the Life of Columba from Adomnán?s seventh-century theological perspective, identifying the coming of the eschatological Kingdom as the key to understanding.
