Columba: The Faith of an Island Soldier, Hardcover

Columba's name dominates the narrative of early Scottish Christianity. What was established on Iona through Columba's astonishing leadership, and through a succession of energetic and resourceful abbots, exerted a unique influence on the development of Christianity in Scotland and beyond. Bruce Ritchie's analytical biography is the key to understanding the real Columba, his theology, his spirituality, and the faith that drove him across the sea.

Bruce Ritchie has taught Scottish Church History and Understanding Worship at Highland Theological College (University of the Highlands and Islands) in Dingwall, Scotland, having also taught Systematic Theology at Zomba Theological College in Malawi. He served over thirty years in Ministry with the Church of Scotland.
