St Columba, an Irish aristocrat, emerged as a pivotal figure in early Scottish Christianity. This comprehensive book delves into the diverse aspects of his life and career, exploring his roles as an abbot, missionary, politician, and peacemaker. It traces his journey from Ireland to Scotland, where he established his principal monastery on the island of Iona. From this humble base, he embarked on missionary work among the Picts and engaged in diplomatic interactions with influential warrior-kings. The book also sheds light on the controversy that led to his excommunication by an Irish synod and the subsequent promotion of his cult after his death in 597. The final chapters examine the evolution of Columba's veneration from the seventh century onwards, with Abbot Adomnan's writings serving as a primary source of information.
