Patricia Egan's 'I, Patrickus' presents a rigorous, research-driven reevaluation of St. Patrick’s background and missionary career.
Combining historical and linguistic evidence, the book explores the possibility of Patrick’s Celtic origins on the Gaulish coast rather than solely in Britain.
It situates Patrick within the Roman and post-Roman context, examining primary sources and later traditions to clarify his identity and work in Ireland.
The study is published by St. Nicholas Press and is written from an Orthodox perspective, engaging both scholarly and devotional readers.
The book contributes to ongoing debates about early medieval identity, mission, and the transmission of Christian traditions in Western Europe.
